Hi there I don’t want to scare you but this could be the molt of a southern black widow. . . It could of been a death curl but I’m not sure if u moved it or not. . . check here for info about death and molting curls here -> http://www.peregrinecr.com/postedfiles/Tarantula-DeathCurl-R1.png
Hi, I agree that it is a Black Widow, Latrodectus sp. Arcticwolf, thanks, I didn’t know that there was a term for the way dying arthropods curl their legs and bodies.
