Extra Facts: Trapdoor spiders are venomous and they do bite, but their bite has been compared to the sting of a wasp. It will hurt, but won't cause much harm to humans. Trapdoor spiders have special jaws that include hard spines, like teeth, that they use to move the dirt around when the spider is digging its underground burrow.
