You're a wise man Sellam,
The brown recluse spider just loves places like that. An aquaintance was
bitten by one several years ago. The wound spread to about a 3" diameter
circle of putrifying flesh that had to be surgically removed. Very nasty
little buggers indeed!

Louis didn't understand why I didn't want to touch any of the stuff with
my bare hands. He just dove right into it. He's braver than I :)

Nice catch
Sellam. Well planned and executed operation.
Looks a bit ratty (sorry, couldn't resist) but I've seen worse looking
stuff still clean up pretty well.
Looks like there's a very good chance it's restorable to functioning
condition.

Hmmm... looks like it might be a good idea to carry
some nose and mouth protectors in the field trip toolbox...
rodents are vectors for so many diseases... hantavirus
comes to mind.
