Sphodros species are known as pursewebs. They make a burrow at the base of a tree (usually) or other structure that both extends into the ground and up the side of the structure. They take prey that walks on the above ground portion of the burrow.
To see pics of burrows and some good info read: http://www.dnr.sc.gov/cwcs/pdf/Pursewebspider.pdf
Atrodiaetus sp. are sometimes known as turret spiders. They should make an in ground burrow topped with a, well, turret. The turret is a small (generally under 3", iirc) extension made of web, vegetable matter, and possibly soil. To see a pic of a CA species, see http://bugguide.net/node/view/147368/bgimage
Ummidia sp. are more like traditional trapdoors. They should have an in ground burrow with a concealed trapdoor.
To see a Ummidia burrow go here: http://www.answers.com/topic/trapdoor-spider ... but i am not sure if that is a good representation of the burrow as i don't think it is even a USA Ummidia sp. _________________

There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

Hendrixson BE, Bond JE. 2005. Two sympatric species of Antrodiaetus from southwestern North Carolina (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Antrodiaetidae). Zootaxa, 1-19.
sort of by definition, if there are two species of A's present at least one of them is not the above posted A. unicolor =P

Sphodros rufipes is classified as endangered or protected.. something like that, many in the scientific community think that is obsolete however, as their numbers are very large in various areas. The males are AWESOME, not too big at all and with incredible coloration Great looking spider overall _________________ God does not play at dice AE
afaik, rufipes isn't blanket protected, but is protected piecemeal in various areas it is found in. i keep meaning to really get to the bottom of it, though _________________

let me know what you find out as I will look on my end. They are nice spiders, seclusive and seldom seen out of their tube webs, well maybe not the males . _________________ God does not play at dice AE
