Default Anyone have a Woodlice Spider they can donate?

Feller on here said he had one, but that was a time ago, and after we agreed that I would pay postage, I heard nothing more -

Anyway, doing a wee presentation to cubs here in 2 weeks, and looking for one of these to take in, as something native and different.

Anyone assist?



All postage costs paid of course...

PS - Oh, and if anyone happens to chance upon say 50 or so worker ants, red, black, whatever, then then would also be excellent, for the set up that someone has given me for them, but there are none in my garden!

I've never seen a woodlouse spider But maybe you can go have an explore, they like to live where there are lots of woodlice (obviously lol) so you could try damp areas with rotten wood etc, or I recall somewone mentioning that they live in piles of bricks. Maybe you could have a scout around some builders yards, or send the kids to do it so nobody thinks you're knicking the bricks Good luck!

just be careful sending kids out looking as Woodlouse Spiders can Bite! lol Wanna see the fangs on them! Huge compared to the spider itself.

Other cool ones would be Mouse Spider, they have a soft silkly 'fur' like baby mice on their abdomens.

Heh, all this hardship, yet they seem so common.

If I was still in my old house, i'd have a look in the garden for you. If you had said earlier (eg january) I could have sent you tons, as they were still dormant.
