Fresh skin

Ypur comments and favs are appreciated more than you know and do not go unnoticed
Yesterday I was fortunate enough to come across this Sac Spider while out searching for subjects to Photograph.
clubiona species
These are in adundance in my area along with their leaf curling relations. I wanted to make a portrait of one so I decided to at least try.
She had molted notlong before getting her in front of the camera.
As spiders grow they shed their outer layer of skin and emerge with a new one and also larger. In this process they also regrow lost limbs.
When they first emerge the skin needs to dry out and harden. At the start of this they are a different color to normal and it doesnt take long before the color changes.
I was lucky to get this girl before her outer layer of skin changed. I spent a bit of time on this focus stack with cleaning up bits missed by myself and the software.
Clubiona is a large genus of Sac spiders found around most of the Australia and throughout the rest of the world. They will usually be found under the bark of Eucalyptus where they'll often be seen in clusters, each with their own little silken retreats.
One person asked about the area under her eyes above her Chelicerae and said there is no detail there. If you look at this species from the top ( Dorsal) you will see that the Chelicerae Protrude a long way out and the bit below the eyes hangs down a little. I looked at all of my focus stacks and could not find any with details in that area. Its like a void in there. Possibly after her new skin hardened it could be a different matter.
I hope you enjoy viewing the final result here.
