Author JonRichfield

This specimen of an intact Cork-lid Trapdoor spider burrow was dug out about a century ago and kept among the effects of a South African naturalist who was killed in WWI, Edward Stuart Cardinal Dyke (c. 1873-1915)[1]. The probable location of the nest in the wild would be somewhere in the rural Eastern Cape. The diameter of the tin was about 50 mm. The depth might be about 100 mm.
