p.1 #1 · Male house spider

Found a house spider in the kitchen sink yesterday morning - quick rescue job and a photo session before releasing it into my greenhouse.

All shots focus stacks using zerene stacker.

Wow, 3rd image is a great shot of his pedipalps!
Poor old spidee, not knowing when you're going to get it and then wondering if it's gonna cost you the 'ultimate' price of his life. . . a bit like humans actually

Thanks for sharing these very interesting, richly detailed images!

Their faces, hidden behind a forest of spiked legs, look somewhat tragic+comedic to me. Goodness knows what spiders think about humans (insert friendly smiles here).

The stereo set works great for me except possibly for the left pair of the 4 eyes in the center of its face. On the left frame these two eyes are brown and on the right frame they are black/dark, causing a little visual confusion when viewed in stereo. I suspect that this color change is what happened due to the small offset needed to create the stereo pair - I've noticed that many spiders' eyes change colors depending on the angle of view.

Thanks for looking and commenting all

- appreciated.
One thing I noticed after was how amazingly clean he was- normally they are covered in dust - not sure if it had had a bath in the sink first

DQE - yes can see what you mean re the eyes in the 3-D - think this is a flash/lens angle issue. Not sure if a fixed light source (as you should use for 3-D pairs) would stop the problem or not. I was mainly interested in getting the head behind the legs.
