Ok what happened here ?

[LordV]

Remains of a spider but really not sure what happened but think it was fairly recent.
Focus stacked using zerene stacker.

This definitely not the kind of thing one wants to see stacked! :shock:

A detailed post-mortem is impossible without being physically sick! :(

Best guess... the spider shed its skin and a cat eat it and threw it back up again with a fur ball.

A wonderfully detailed stack, and a muder mystery in one :)

WOW that is awesome, i wonder if its a final shed into adulthood? or if its just been mutilated by a bigger bader spider ;) stunning shot Brian, great detail

It looks like spider remains spewing from an owl pellet.

Yuck.

I've seen worse at a Maryland crab restaurant.

great shot, not sure maybe it was shedding and was eating before it fully shed...

[Naturalist]

I am guessing that the spider shed his exoskeleton.

Thanks for the comments and ideas - appreciated :)

Certainly looks like it was eaten and thrown up by something.

Looks sorta like the crab feasts I've done down in Baltimore. Yup, this spider definitely visited someone's digestive system.

Thanks Troy and Kevan for the comments/ideas :)
Agree does look like it was thrown up.
