Caution!!!!

Dysdera Crocata has an Aggressive nature, although not dangerous, when threatened they will rear up and can and will inflict a very painfull bite that can result in a pronounced 4"-5" swelling at/around the envenomation site but this will recede and heal over a couple of days with the help of a suitable Antihistamine cream
omgggggg there were woodlice in my room! arghhhh scary! thanks for telling me! really wanted to know! sif they bite!!! ahhhaa ive moved out now...so the nxt owners better watch their backs lol.
