My first Christmas Spider. This little fellow dropped on my sister's head and she kindly collected it for me.
It is about 5mm front to back and this is a 18 photo stack in PS

Strange looking creature! If you hadn't said that it was a spider, I'd still have been scratching my head! ; )

Very nice, but why is it called Christmas spider? I cannot see a similarity between it and any Christmas decorations or do you only see it at Christmas?

That makes sense - a bit like Christmas Cactus (which in the UK flowers at Christmas but wouldn't in Australia as it is day length linked).

Canon MP-E65mm for this one and it is an 18 shot stacked photo. If you check the info above the photo you can see all the info you need. ;)
