I happened to catch this interesting spider on a glass door, and snapped a couple of different photos.  I believe it’s Selenopidae, or the wall crab spider.  Because it’s so flat, depth of field\/focus issues are not as much a problem as with ordinary macro photography.  Because the spider is about an inch across, not a lot of magnification was needed to get an interesting set of shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first is without flash.  Because of the daylight on the other side of the door, we get a nice profile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
