Trapdoor spider.
Definitely a trapdoor spider in the family Ctenizidae, probably a species of Ummidia, and likely a wandering male. Neat find:-)

trapdoor spider
Thank you! I just happened upon it this morning while walking through the woods and it seemed to be an interesting creature. I'm not very knowledgeable on arthropods so I found this site to help out and I am impressed! Thanks again.
