Dysdera erythrina
(Walckenaer, 1802)

Dysdera erythrina is a species of spider in the family Dysderidae.[1] It is nearly indistinguishable from the spider Dysdera crocata, but is far less common and has a much smaller geographic range. Like its relative D. crocata, this spider uses its disproportionately huge chelicerae to kill woodlice, as well as silverfish, earwigs, millipedes, beetles, and even centipedes.

Distribution

[edit]

The species is commonly found in the south of Great Britain. It is also found in Western and Central Europe.[2]
