Scotophaeus Blackwalli
A dark brown spider with a wooly dark gray-brown abdomen.
Underbrush in day, nocturnal hunter.
Invasive to US from Europe. Like a tarantula when provoked it rubs the hairs on its abdomen off to irritate the instigator's eyes, fortunately not big enough for the defense to effect human eyes.
