The family Dysderidae, belonging to the order Araneae (spiders), is commonly known as woodlouse or six-eyed spiders. These spiders are primarily nocturnal hunters, often specializing in preying on woodlice and other small invertebrates. They are typically found in leaf litter, under stones, or in dark, damp habitats, and are characterized by their six eyes arranged in a semicircle, elongated bodies, and strong, robust chelicerae adapted for piercing hard exoskeletons. Dysderids are generally ground-dwelling and non-web-building, relying on stealth and speed to capture prey, and they exhibit diverse morphological adaptations that reflect their specialized diets and habitats.
