I recently moved and am not familiar with all the species that live in Colorado (Colorado Springs area) I found this lovely crawling on my arm this morning (in my kitchen).

I have also met them in my garage but, this is the first on that kept it's shape as I attempted to stick it still for a photo shoot.

Any idea what this is and if it is one that I should be concerned about being around?

I appreciate the views perhaps I should trust my gut a little bit more.

You don’t have to have pets, your blood is as good as pet’s for thicks.
