Also what type of species is your profile pic? Dwarf of some kind? Resembles a green bottle blue. Just can't tell on my iPhone.

It's my son's GBB sling "Marley". She's about 2.5" give or take now, suspect female, but the last molt was too torn in just the wrong spot to verify. That pic was taken after her most recent molt in December.

Assume that it is dead? Looks like she lost a pair of legs somewhere. Photo is a bit dark and can't zoom in very well. If I had to guess, it is some type of grass spider (Agelinidae sp.). Be careful picking up what you don't know. At first glance I thought it was a recluse. Ouch.
