Woodlouse Hunter Spider

Damp, dark places like under logs, rocks, and leaf litter; frequently found in gardens and basements

Specializes in eating woodlice (sowbugs/pillbugs), using large chelicerae to pierce their hard exoskeletons

Nocturnal hunters that do not build webs for catching prey, instead wandering to find food. They build silken retreats for resting and molting.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling woodlouse populations. While they can bite if handled, their venom is not medically significant to humans, typically causing only localized redness and minor pain.
