Scotophaeus blackwalli, also known as the mouse spider, is a species of spider belonging to the family Gnaphosidae. It is a ground spider and does not create webs. Instead it hunts for insects and other spiders at night and uses its enlarged spinnerets to produce a sticky silk to subdue its prey. It is also an opportunistic scavenger. Females also use their silk to build protective nests for their eggs.
