DEADLY WOODLOUSE SPIDER SPOTTED IN WYRE FOREST

A Spider that can bite humans and is deadly, to Woodlice, has been spotted a number of times in the Wyre Forest area.

The Spider, which is grey with a reddy orange body can kill woodlice within minutes. It has also been known to give a nasty bite humans when handled.

One man was bitten yesterday whilst sitting next to the Canal by Tescos and was took to hospital. He was treated for a panic attack which may have been brought on by the spider bite.

Many other strange creatures have been spotted in Wyre Forest and local conservationists believe the warm weather and mild winter has encouraged growth of tropical like animals.

Other spiders that have also been discovered in the region are the human biting 'Tube web spider' which has bright green fangs and the 'Rustic Wolf spider'.
Also discovered in the area was what was believed to be a venomous Copperhead Snake.

Members of the public are asked to be on the lookout for the animals.
