Striped Pants - TNY_8748S5

I was down in the basement of my mom's summer house trying to snap a few shots of the three quite large giant house spiders (Eratigena atrica) that had occupied one of the windows and found this little guy as a bonus. Body length is ~3 mm/just over .1" and I believe it's a female shadow hammock-spider (Labulla thoracica).

 

Compare the size of the spider to the discarded "helmet" and legs of one of the A. atricas.

 

This is a focus stacked shot of five exposures (Zerene Stacker) using the 100 mm/2.8 and a 20 mm extension tube and a tripod in natural light.
