Animals & Insects

Hi! I'm Alex. I've created this blog because I love entomology. I use this blog as a nature diary, posting every find. There aren't just insects - there are all sorts of animals. So It's not strictly for Insects. If you have an interest in bugs, then you are more then welcome to contact me through the comments or Facebook page: Alex Sidney. And if you've got any interesting pictures you'd like me to see, please contact me. I may post them online here, with your permission. Enjoy! Alex Sidney

Woodlouse Spider

This is a commonly found Spider, which, as its name suggests, feeds on Woodlice and other small invertebrates. They tend not to spin webs, but instead chase their prey around, or creep up on them and pounce.

I'm still not sure about which species it is: Dysdera Crocata, or Dysdera Erythrina.
Both are very alike, with only the smallest differences. They are both Woodlouse Spiders, however.
Any ideas? Post in the comments below!
