    Description
    We report two sightings of Trachyzelotes pedestris catching or attempting to catch a terrestrial isopod of the species Porcellio scaber. Observations of oniscophagy are rare in most spider species and to our knowledge these are the first sightings of a Gnaphosidae spider preying on terrestrial isopods. We propose a potential hunting strategy of this spider to catch terrestrial isopods.
