About 3 or 4 days ago a very large wild cherry tree came down in our yard & I found this guy today. I live in Central to western TN about 2 mi. from TN River. This guy is approx. 3½ "- 4" in diam including legs. Is black & silver. The silver actually appears when you look at it to be metal, Like shiny aluminum. He is as we speak on a 2x6 in my shed & did not appear to be aggressive. Didn't move when I got VERY close to him & poked around him a little to see if he'd move. No luck, probably thankfully too. Sorry this is the best pic I could get of him. He does not seem to have any kind of web. We believe he was probably living in the cherry tree that came down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
