Re: The Nature Photography Thread
I think I've seen those in my garden. This forum is giving me a whole new outlook on spiders and other creepycrawlies.
Darn it, now instead of just squishing the little suckers, I'm going to have to look closely, take pics, and actually learn about them!

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
I first bred Dysdera in the 1970s... they are fun spiders to keep, if a little sinister looking. Their favoured prey is Philoscia muscorum, a long-legged relatively fast moving woodlouse. If you can offer them P. muscorum, they'll breed for you.

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
I have some sort of harder-shelled wood louse I'm offering, and the female took it last night. I think it's P. armadillum or something like that...
I also have access to the other kind if necessary. |

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
Armadilidium and Porcellio are separate genera. Armadilidium being the 'pill bug' Porcellio being the common grey 'slater'.
Dysdera will take most, but prefers Philoscia.
