Spider off my wall...

[paruhd0x]

Yet another "What spider is this?" thread of mine...

My house seems to be spider heaven or something, because I am coming across probably 5 a week now.

Here are the pics, sorry about the quality... I did these through a ziplock bag cuz he's a fast little guy.

My location is Southern California.

Looks like a Woodlouse spider. Very common and sometime mistakes for a brown recluse.

Very good pictures.
I like California the best of all the states.

 

I have no clue what type of spider it is, but how big is it? It looks like a pretty large one.

Woodlouse Hunter

Is it so called because it primarily hunts woodlice? (obvious question I know....)

Hey do you guys get many woodlice over there? Do you have just flat ones or the ones that can roll up into a ball too....

I haven't seen the black and white ball ones for ages....

It primarily eats pillbugs, not sure why it's called Woodlouse but the word Hunter in it's name is because it will hunt it's prey rather than just relying on web collection. (I've read that it will actually eat smaller spiders including black widows).
