Ok, so i need an identification on a spider i had to collect today for the RSPCA...
Any1 able to enlighten me to what it is?...
It looks like a woodlouse spider (Dysdera) I only know of Dysdera crocata tho, and that is brown..
This spider has a beautiful, irridescent green glow on its chelicerae and is very aggressive.
It was found i a gap betweeen two houses in Wiltshire about 10ft up the wall i the cracks of brickwork.
Its not very good at climbing, unable to keep a sure hold on the takeaway carton it was kept in.
Any clues would be great!

Though as far as i'm aware, Dysdera have only 6 eyes... i havent been able to tell that with this thing
