The little critter is a small spider. I think it is a ground spider from the particular eye arrangement and body shape, but I am not knowledgeable enough to confirm this in confidence. I posted these pictures on bug guide as well and am waiting on responses from more experienced identifiers.
The above pictures were shot by my sister and myself yesterday (Feb 16th, 2013) afternoon at the end of the Farmer's Market. I did not have my own camera but my sister was kind enough to lend me hers and even take a few pictures of it herself since I proved barely capable of operating her camera.
My uncle Dixon discovered it and secured it for us to get these pictures. The little critter was slow, almost sluggish as he explored the carrot scrap he is seen on above. This made for some excellent photographing and no issues finding a hiding place in the building since I could not bring myself to let it go outside with the snow and ice.
