I found this spider shell dangling by a thread at work under a shelf today.
Equipment used to photgraph this. 1x Epson flatbed scanner
on 1200 dpi. left the lid open.
Would anybody know if these little guys do this regularly??

I just sat him nose first on the glass.
depth of field is reasonable on these units.
you can just about scan anything on a scanner and get a good results.
anyone with a scanner should try it. :)

Cool technique!
Spiders have an exoskeleton so as they grow, the have to shed their old skin... Or pop, I suppose.
