Woodlouse Spider
Dysdera crocata
Woodlouse spiders live beneath stones, dead wood, and debris in gardens, walls, and woodland habitats. Mostly active at night, they stalk and ambush woodlice and other ground-dwelling invertebrates. Their unusually long, forward-pointing fangs are well suited to piercing the hard outer covering of a woodlouse.
