Looks like the cephalothorax of a dysderid spider. Old world distribution of the family except for one species that is cosmopolitan. 6-eyes in an oval shape distribution on front of cephalothorax and chelicerae project forward -- great for grabbing isopods and pillbugs, favorite prey, from under bark or under logs. Dysdera crocata can be found indoors and even crawl on the outside vertical concrete walls of some structures (one was near the ground, not up high!!) including the Met in NYC where one spider had crawled out from the plantings near the building and continued on the vertical wall in broad daylight (although was a bit in the shadows). > > I took some samples from a wooden object and found this. > Does anyone recognize this???????????
