I'm still seeking macro subjects and any invertebrate that shows up in my house during winter is fair game. This is a sac spider - possibly a yellow sac spider. These small, pale, translucent spiders are not an uncommon sight in my house, though this is the first one I've seen in several months. Last night this one was running up a door frame in my kitchen... (click on the image for a larger view.)
Sac Spider
I caught the spider in a plastic 35mm film canister and put it in the freezer overnight. Taking it out this morning and inverting the canister, it dangled a bit from a filament of webbing. Looking at this photo, it seems to have webbing stuck to its body - I guess a spider and its web are pretty inseparable.
This is a 123 image stack, taken with a Pentax K-3, D-FA 50mm macro lens reverse mounted on about 140 mm of extension, with dual manual flashes for illumination. The images were combined in Zerene Stacker.
