Comments & ID Thoughts
With the warmer weather over the past few weeks all kinds of creatures are coming out and it is sooo exciting. I am seeing these little guys all over the place at my house, on the garage next door and.my shed. They appear in clusters and almost seem like new baby deer or horses stumbling about trying to learn how to crawl steadily and stay on the wall. They fall constantly and climb back up to give it another try. I do not recall seeing what would be the parents to these seem to be youngsters so I would like to know what they are and where they came from all of a sudden...
Some have very dark abdomens and others are more of a tannish brown. All other have black tips in their legs.

Interesting. I had another larger one identified as a trap door and like with that one I was.surprised as I didn’t think they were found in my area. One thing is for sure …. If they weren’t before they are now!-thanks!
