A house spider my wife caught. Picture created from a focus stack of 26 photos taken with a Sigma 105mm macro lens. The subject was illiminated by diffused flash.

I was feeding the dogs, when lo and behold I saw an itsy bitsy spider staring up at me from Harry's dish. He was pretty translucent, and very very small! Anyway, so of course i dropped what i was doing and grabbed my camera, slapped on those macro tubes and tried to take some shots. It was super hard to get it focused on the eyes of the spider, but I managed to do it finally. Thankfully he wasn't really moving. I guess spiders do that.
I felt very rushed though, 'cause I had burgers on the grill and fries in the oven (of course the timer had to go off right then). I did a fair amount of clean up on this shot since there were flecks of dog food all over, but since it was a white dog dish, it lends for this almost studio-esque shot of this spider. Anyone care to look up the species?
While "Altweibersommer-come-true" eases the passing of a wonderful summer with autumn temperatures exceeding the average by far, the "Alten Weiber" are living on the fat of the land. This one is obviously testing a new diet.
Spotted lurking on the wall, late last night. It was hard to miss in fact, being about the size of a small dog...

There was an old woman who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
