	One of my first Macro shots. This is a molting from a Steatoda grossa, aka - cupboard spider or false black widow. People often think they are cannibals since they see 'dead spiders' in their webs. While most spiders are cannibals, it is usually the molting shed as the spider grows bigger (now let that thought sink in)! Sony NEX-6, Sigma 150mm F2.8, f/10.0, 13s, ISO100 Comments welcome!

	Good shot but with that big 150mm macro try to get closer. I know it is scary with spiders! Hope to see more.
