Dysdera Crocata
It sounds like you are describing a Woodlouse Spider (Dysdera crocata). These spiders are brown with a distinctive large yellow or orange abdomen, and they are known for their behavior of rolling into a ball when threatened for protection.
The spider that resembles a big swollen tick is likely the woodlouse spider (Dysdera crocata). It has a robust, rounded body and can appear swollen, especially when viewed from certain angles. Another possibility is the female black widow, which can have a similar shape but is usually much darker. Both spiders have distinct features that set them apart from ticks, such as eight legs and different body segmentation.
yes they do, they include snails, slugs and worms, hedgehogs, toads, frogs, newts and lizards. Little owls and foxes are also known to include them in their diets. Other creatures that share the woodlouse's habitat will also prey on them, none more so than Dysdera crocata, the main woodlouse eating spider (another spider in this genus also exists and also eats woodlice).
