I discovered this little guy under some pots in my garden. This photo is several years old and I cannot remember what equipment I used to take the photo, but I did manage this picture of it emerging from what seems to be some kind of cocoon. What was immediately apparent on this spider was its bright colours and large over sized fangs. Upon doing some research I believe this is a Woodlouse Spider. It lives a life hidden under shelter and uses it’s large fangs to feed on woodlouse. It is a harmless spider although it can bite if handled which is apparently less painful than a bee sting and its venom is not dangerous. I put the planter back for it and carefully guided it back into its home after I was done with the picture.
