Found this on my bag while I was camping this weekend in Wakefield, VA. I have never seen anything like it and would like to know what it is.

This appears to be a harvestman (an arachnid in the order Opiliones, also sometimes called 'daddy long-legs) in the act of shedding its 'skin.' See http://www.flickr.com/photos/brad_pics/7358823740/ for another example. Nice find!

Thanks for the info. I found 50+ of those around my bag and hammock while I was trying to pack up. I didn't even think that it was the same thing.
