Spider is active until plastic container is laid still. Within a couple seconds, the spider begins moving along the edge of the container, perhaps in attempt to free itself. The spider is light gray, almost transparent in color. It’s legs are much longer than its body. When the spider moves, it walks on 4 legs, using the middle four almost as eyes, meaning they touch everything before the spider moves. Its legs are divided into three sections, all bent at different angles to aid the spider in holding itself upside down on the lid of the container. The spider has 2 big eyes that are a dirty white in color, so they are lighter than the rest of its body, but also look transparent. The greater part of its body is a mix between a light gray and brown color. The legs are coming out of the top of the body, thus exposing the lower portion of the spiders abdomen. The legs are very long. The spider itself is about the size of a quarter.

The organism I am looking at is slightly see through. It has I think 3 body segments with 8 legs. The body segments are roughly 2 millimeters wide by 1 millimeter wide. The abdomen is the longest body segment and sticks out. The legs come out from the thorax I believe. The legs are jointed with brown spots are each joint. The legs are extremely long and hold up the body. They look very disproportionate to the body size as they are extremely thin. The body segment is very dark and less see trough compared to the legs. The organism is hanging upside down and I am not sure how. It has a teeny tiny mouth where it probably eats teeny tiny foods. The mouth has tiny antler looking things on the outside of it. The legs look a little bit polka-dotted. The organism is most likely a spider – an Arthropoda to be exact. The spider is moving around with twitchy leg movements and is moving very slowly – not precisely at all. The legs are flailing everywhere. The legs look a little bit fuzzy the more I look at them, but that could just be blurry vision. The front two legs are longer than the other legs. The 2^nd to last legs are the shortest. When I touch the outside of the glass, the spider scrunches up and looks very scared and timid, almost as if it is trying to make itself smaller and hide. The spider is now not moving and it looks like it is either sleeping or relaxing. It is probably scared of me because I tapped the plastic cup – sorry. I am not sure if there is a web, and I do not see any other abscess coming from the abdomen like other people noticed. 5 mins later - Now it is starting to make a web! It is making a web across the flat part of the Tupperware thing. Sometimes it points it two first legs at me when it gets angry I am assuming. It is just hanging there. 

This is a test.

My spider is not doing anything, but it looks like its hanging in midair, probably with the help of really thin spider web. It has about 7 or 8 long and thin legs. It has a short thick body. It looks like it has a bunch of eyes on its head, but I am not sure. I almost dropped the containor and now the spider is awake/is thrashing around the container. I flashed my phone's flash light for a brief moment on the spider, and got no response. After 10 mintues, the spider stopped moving agan. It's body is almost transulscent.

The spider appears to be a very small “Daddy Long Legs.” It is about the size of an average pinky nail. Its legs are very long and slender in proportion to it’s midsection. Both it’s legs and the top of its midsection are a very pale brown, but the underside of it’s midsection is whitish. Its midsection is comprised of two round sections, one appears to be a “head” and is small and round, while the other is a longer, slender oval and appears to be the body. It has 8 legs. The front legs towards the head are longer than the back legs. When the spider is in a resting position, most of its legs extend up, relatively straight out, and then diagonally back down to the ground, forming an obtuse half rectangular shape. These legs are triple jointed. A couple of its other legs are double jointed and extend up at a smaller angle relative to its body, and then back down.  It constantly prods at the walls of the cup it is in, appearing to be making efforts to escape. Its legs can move up and down, but also in a lateral motion. Sometimes it moves its legs in circular motions while prodding at the edge of the cup. When it is not doing these movements, it remains very still.
