Giant Trapdoor Spider

Moves swiftly in tunnels like a  rider
Though many called him a deadly spider,
Just two legs different from normal fly,
His mandibles and toxin he holds so high,
Lying in wait for his prey with web net,
Stabbing this creature with pronounced teeth set,
Attacks within his burrow away from foes,
This surprise act further compound their woes,
These sets of teeth,he uses to dig his holes,
Where he drags others to devour their souls,
A trapdoor is made between himself and his prey,
which is triggered  to make a nice display
When the creature is caught it then closes,
He injects weak  toxin with plenty of doses
which slowly paralyses the victim.
