Dysdera crocata

I believe so. I live in the Pacific Northwest where we get lots of rain. I find them near rotting wood and under rocks and its often damp there. Just went outside today and found half a dozen more or so.
 
@Jerry I had one take down a cricket so I wouldn't say exclusive :p I think it may be just so that they prefer wood lice? I'm not really sure. I understand that there aren't too many predators that will pursue wood lice due to their bad taste (never eaten one btw but that's what i've read).
 
Exclusively no. However they always hang out in areas that have lots of woodlice. So I'm sure thats a very large part of their diet.
