Helping Address Confusion and Misinformation from Reposters of This Viral Clip:

This video is going viral, but let's give this spider the credit it deserves. Likely Hoggicosa bicolor, this isn't a trapdoor spider at all. Actually, a species of wolf spider, family lycosidae that evolved separately from the trapdoor building mygalomorphs it keeps getting confused for.

One of the original videos on Instagram of this post originally filmed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, got over 70 million views! Since many people are trying to milk views off of this video without crediting the creator, or even trying to get proper info about what it is they're posting, hopefully, those of you that see this will be able to understand the right stuff.

I've also color corrected this video because the lighting caused it to appear blue, making people think these animals came in blue naturally. This is closer to the actual colors...
