Woodlouse spider
The woodlouse spider is a small spider that hunts woodlice, the small grey creatures that curl up when touched. It lives in warm places under logs, stones and plant pots, and it is now found on almost every continent except Antarctica. It is a skilled hunter with large fangs, but it is not known to be a health risk to people.1

It often dominates and sometimes kills other spiders and centipedes.1
Courtship is typically aggressive, and mates can be injured by each other's large fangs.1
