I don't like woodlouse spiders... you find them all over the place here.

Chances are, if its too cold to go out looking, you aint gonna find one.

Watch out though, those jaws go through woodlouse shells, they'll bite your fingers too. One of the only British spiders than can actually bite people.

people dont really know but we in the UK have 8 species of spider that are toxic to humans, nothing that would do any real harm unless you are allergic but still none the less cause a reaction

I didnt know there was much demand for these in the pet industry. Its a shame to hear that some populations have dwindled/died out by the sounds of it.

They are plenty common by me, and if you know where and what to look for, you can catch them year round.

I hardly think owning one is a viable solution to having too many woodlice however; why not just put them outside if they are UK natives or sell them if they are tropical woodlice?

People pay for starter colonies, thats far better than collecting a seemingly scare native spider and killing them IMO.

I (unknowingly) suffered what I now assume to be a spider bite that caused the muscles in my leg to swell and lock up. It wasn't painful but the fact that it had the potential to kill me if I'd been bitten around the chest or airway kind of gave me a new respect for the arachnid/insect kingdoms. As for why I assume it's a spider bite? Well it was the two tiny hypodermic holes I had in the back of my knee coupled with not being allergic to any other known creepy crawly.

If you want a classic way of 'finding' woodlouse spiders then pile a load of bricks together by a classic woodlouse haunt (A collection of potted plants or somewhere with rotting vegetation), and then when summer is well and truly here remove the bricks gently. You should at some point come across one or two of the spiders in question. At least I did when I was working on a few building sites a couple of years ago. Then again we also managed to find some fox cubs...
