2 spiders in the porch.

I found the first spider, a Lace webbed spider Amaurobius similis, on the wall in the porch and the other, a dead woodlouse eating spider Dysdera crocata, on the floor beneath the first spider. My assumption is that the dead spider had been the prey of the Lace webbed spider.

Thanks Tom but I did over brighten the last 2 photos. Yes, that second spider can crack open woodlice upon which it lives extensively. We have those in the porch too despite stopping up all the gaps with silicon.
