Comments & ID Thoughts
Found the little guy on my tent in my yard. It's set up right next to a couple trees, a hedge, and a little garden. There are a couple big rocks near it, too. He's about the size of a dime or a little smaller. Didn't see a web though I might not have looked hard enough.
I'm surprised he stayed still enough for me to take a photo but I went back after a few minutes and he was gone.
I'm just a little curious about what kind he is.
