Aptostichus bonoi
Species of spider
Aptostichus bonoi, or Bono's Joshua Tree trapdoor spider, is a morphological species of Euctenizidae spiders, nocturnal arthropods who seize their prey after leaping out of their burrows and inject it with venom.[1] The species was found in Joshua Tree National Park,[2] California, and described by the Auburn University professor Jason Bond in 2012.[3] Only seven species of Aptostichus were known prior to 2012, including the Angelina Jolie trapdoor spider.[1][4]
