Comments & ID Thoughts

Trachelas tranquillus

Crawled into my backpack during a backyard campout and hitchhiked inside.

Caused a brief panic.

I can now definitively state that it is a female, because she has made a round, slightly bulging, disk of an egg sac and she has deflated somewhat.

She makes no attempt to guard the eggs, but has instead built herself her own webbed bubble of a refuge, barely larger than herself.
