What is this spider? - Dysdera crocata
Nevada, Story County, Iowa, USA
May 14, 2009
Size: 1 inch long with legs
This wandered into my living room. Wondering if it is venomous.

My own research- my guess is a A Woodlouse Spider - Dysdera crocata?

BTW, if anyone from ISU wants this guy (he's still alive) I'm only 10 min from campus.

Your guess is correct
It's a woodlouse hunter. It's not dangerous.
