Wolf Spider Burrow

Tracker's eye view
Wolf spiders build beautiful chimneys around some of their burrows.  This hole was 6" deep and is built of more crude materials than others I've seen. Often the walls of the chimney are pine needles, or fine grasses. Here is an amazing video of a spider emerging from its burrow to steal a fly from an ant.
