Found this spider on my 11 month old changing station it's about the size of quarter. It looked dead before I caught it in the jar it was curled up behind a tub of baby supplies but once I pushed it into a container it began to move.... can someone please tell me what it is?

Expert Response
When disturbed, many spiders will play dead if they can not escape.
The container blurs the image in a way that I can not see any characteristics. Your public health people should know someone who can at least tell you if the spider is one that might be dangerous to people. They may even know who might be able to ID the spider.
