Unidentified

Comments & ID Thoughts

At first glance, I wondered if this was a tick or spider. Given the 8 legs and the way it crawled, I assume it's a spider. The abdomen is round with a herringbone-like pattern and the head seems small. I found it in this container that was previously outside the day before. I couldnt make out a good eye pattern. The underside is cream colored. Looking at the round abdomen, I could guess it belongs to the orb weaver family. Any ideas??
