Woodlouse Hunter spider

Found under logs, rocks, bricks, and in damp places like leaf litter or basements and gardens, particularly where its prey (pillbugs) is abundant.

Primarily woodlice (sowbugs and pillbugs), though it may occasionally eat other small invertebrates.

Nocturnal hunter that does not build a web to catch prey; instead, it uses its large, powerful chelicerae (fangs) to pierce the tough exoskeleton of roly-polies. They spend the day in silk retreats.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling pillbug populations. While its large fangs can pierce human skin and cause a painful bite similar to a bee sting, its venom is not medically significant to humans.
