South Dakota spider or tick? - Bassaniana utahensis Spearfish, South Dakota, USA August 9, 2007 Size: 3-4mm
A one inch long spider that ran fast, made loud scratching noises while running on a formica counter top and jumped about ten inches at a time was also living in the same kennel area and may have been an adult version of this same insect. I can't tell for sure since the larger one got away before I got a good look.
The smaller one, pictured here, had a hard shell.
