The burrow of trapdoor spider (Euoplos thynnearum).

---

The burrow of trapdoor spider (Euoplos thynnearum) - about the size of $1 coin. These spiders are named for the unique house-doors they construct over their burrows, from a mixture of soil, vegetation and silk. The "rings" are additions to the door as is necessitated by the resident spider's growth (and resultant burrow widening).
