Proper Camouflage Colours, Pt. 3 - _TNY_7993
The common fox spider (Alopecosa pulverulenta) is a not particularily rare mamber of the wolf spider family. Quite pretty though.
Part one is more from the side and can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/47953563297/
Part two is closer and took advantage of the spider relying on staying completely still and trusting the camouflage - I managed six shots from the same angle and then focus stacked them here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48801136402/
Also, just wanted to mention that I think the German name for this species is really cool: "Dunkle Pantherspinne" (literally "dark panther spider").
