Some visitors

I have a new hunter lurking around my front door, this one is a Wall Crab spider or Flattie. He has raised up a little bit on his legs because the camera disturbed him and I find it fascinating how fast they can move and how flat they can make themselves. This one is probably a male, you can tell by the larger, rounder ends of the pedipalps. Pedipalps are the little "legs" on the spider's head and they aren't legs, they serve as hands for the spider and in the male's case, he uses his pedipalps to transfer sperm during mating. And then he runs away as fast as his legs will carry him... If you live in Africa, South America or Australia, these are very common spiders in the house. They are harmless and belong to the family Selenopidae

On the right-hand side of the door, the Nursery Web spider has taken to lurking on the curtains. She's the one whose shed skins got featured a little while ago. Here she is, getting bigger and bigger.

Pardon me, but I like photographing spiders. I must try and buy a good macro lens so that you can see them in all their glory... They like to hang out around my front door because the outside light attracts many insects for them to hunt at night.
