Dysdera crocota (C.L. Koch, 1838) | ||
Known commonly as the Woodlouse Spider, this Dysdera crocota turned up at the bottom of a coal bunker at Market Warsop in September 2011. It's not a spider we have come across much before, but should be commonly spread around much of Nottinghamshire. There are no Sherwood Forest records of either of the two reddish Dysdera spiders (Dysdera erythrina being smaller than D. crocota), which seems surprising. | ||
