Yet another Woodlouse spider!

After seeing a recent posting of a very similar view of a Woodlouse spider (Dysdera crocata) I thought I would share my version of one of my favorite spiders.

These spiders are quite widespread in the USA but are an introduced species from Europe long ago. Just as many of the "woodlice" they are specialized to feed on are also introduced species.

Comments/critique welcome.

Yikes! I don't think I have seen one of those. I need to look in woodpiles more often.

Déjà vu! LOL. Nice. I've never even heard of a woodlouse spider.

Now that I see pictures of them online, showing the whole thing, I do think I have maybe seen them. I should definitely look again, because... #####...

I mean, "dang" (the other word was censored, mild as it was).
