California Turret Spider Burrow
-
Richard showed us a whole bunch of these structures.

I guess this is a spider burrow: a conical silk-lined structure incorporating forest debris. Seen in a forest of Douglas Fir and Coast Redwood. Several others were nearby with smaller apertures; the fourth photo is one of these. Similar structures with the Foldingdoor Spider Anthrodiaetus riversi have been posted from Pepperwood.

I know these are turret spider homes, but I can't find the species on iNat (I don't know the genus/species for them).

This one used lichen in its turret construction, a choice that we endorsed whole-heartedly. Also, Trent is the best turret tickler ever.

"A colony of several dozen California Turret Spiders was found along the South Grove Trail. Based on Starrett and Hedin's 2007 paper on cryptic speciation among the California Turret Spiders, these are members of the ""Sierran"" clade. According to their publication, there are five deeply divided clades of turret spider in California representing five cryptic, currently undescribed species."
