Comments & ID Thoughts

This spider was found sleeping in a little ball. It was hanging from a piece of web. I thought it was dead. Not really sure what it was at first, till my husband touched it and it shot up into the tree. We lost it for a while but my husband knocked it down to the ground and lost it again. Finally he found it. The shell on his back is hard . I touched it. We let it go in some bushes where no one lives.
