Day 5.262: Woodlouse hunter hunter


It seems that this spider that Exile #4 found in her bedroom the other day is probably
Dysdera crocata, the woodlouse spider. Wikipedia states:

They have been known to bite humans if handled. Their bite can be painful but the venom causes no major medical problems.

Very comforting!  (This one was safely removed from the house.)
