Latin name: Dysdera crocata
Size: Approximately 10 to 15mms long
Distribution: Common in southern England. Found up to southern Scotland.
Months seen: All year round
Food: Woodlice and other small creatures. One of the few spiders with fangs strong enough to pierce through the hard outer shell of woodlice - hence the name
Habitat: Found under logs and stones. Anyplace where woodlice might be found.
Special features: The woodlouse spider has a body which can vary in colour from creamy-grey to red-brown. The legs are usually a reddish colour. The abdomen has the size and appearance of a baked bean.
The fangs are quite large in proportion to its body, and they are specially developed for catching and killing woodlice - hence the name.
IdentificationBehavior
This spider usually can be distinguished from others in Wisconsin by its smooth carmel colored body, contrasting cream abdomen, and large fangs.
Habitat
Largely nocturnal, this species occasionally can be seen during the day. I have found them wandering on the lower levels of buildings and in the basements of homes.
Behavior
The large fangs of this species allow it to pierce the protective exoskeletons of pill bugs and other arthropods. While most other household spiders ignore pill bugs, this spider readily attacks them.
