: I have only seen this twice now in my home. It is smaller then the top of a pencils eraser. The body is a lite brownish/cream. It has four(4)legs that are small, but has two(2)long redish/brown claws in front. The claw limbs are just as long as it's body. It's legs are no where close to the lenghth of the claw limbs. The body is thin and it's over all looks are like a tick. With Claws??? I thought it might be a Crab Spider but their body is round, not thin. There two front legs are longer then the back! This is totally different. Please help me out!
If it has 6 legs total, it may be the nymph stage of a tick. Spiders and adult ticks have 8 legs. I would have to see it to tell you for sure.
