This is a first. I suspect that it somehow hid in the milk crates a friend loaned me. I banged them out, wiped them out, etc. but apparently this guy was good at hiding.

Could be worse. He could have been a brown recluse or black widow, or could have gotten loose in my car! If he'd just jumped off on the stairs, he could have eaten bugs by the front door, which does not seal, of course. Now that I think about it...I noticed something I thought was bark on the stairs, yesterday. Maybe he did jump off when they paused overnight on the staircase. I need to go look and see if the bark is there. Damn my eyes going funny occasionally.
