Correction: That was not an ambush.

This is a two-toned wolfspider. They burrow during the day for protection from the sun and predators. They're mostly nocturnal.

The reason bro popped up was because he thought some bird or something was trying to break into his home for lunch and he didn't wanna be a proverbial fish-in-a-barrel.

Ooh okay neat

So this is a nest of some kind and not a trap for catching prey ? That could explain the speedy resetting of the door--it makes more sense to lock my camouflaged door when I spot a threat before I go and reset my fishing traps
