A new species of trapdoor spider has been found near Northam in Western Australia, identified as a member of the Idiopidae family.
Nicknamed the albino trapdoor spider, it was spotted by Grass Valley resident John Cornish on his back veranda in July.
The white-headed, black and brown-legged spider about the size of a 50-cent piece was captured in a jar and handed to the Northam office of the Department of Environment and Conservation.
