We're finding them (dead) around a basement bedroom. Have not found a live one but have found 2 dead. Dont want them to be some sort of tick or other critter than can be harmful to people.

Here's a better picture, top and bottom. Note he's about 1/4 inch long.

That's a portion of a dead spider. Not to worry.

Yup, a spider. A predator of the bad bugs.

Good to know, thanks! Thought it might be one, but it looked odd w the legs all broken off (fallen off?) like that. We wont worry then.

You're not going to worry about what might be skulking around your home with spider drumsticks in it's jaws? I'm just sayin'.....
