Euoplos dignitas

Euoplos dignitas is a species of armoured golden trapdoor spider in the family Idiopidae.

[3] Its name is derived from the Latin word for "dignity" or "greatness", as well as paying homage to Project DIG (one of the sponsors of the research that found and catalogued the species).

The adult male can grow up to 3 centimetres (1.2 in) in body length and has a honey-red outer layer and a grey-brown abdomen.

The male tends to live in its burrow for 5-7 years before sexually maturing and venturing out in search of a mate.

[2] E. dignitas can be found in the open woodland areas around Eidsvold and Monto in the Brigalow Belt region of Central Queensland in Australia.
