Nothing elegant here, just your basic spider.
I was cleaning a long unused guest bathroom, and found this recently dead spider. The abdomen was pretty shriveled, but the legs were still flexible and the carapace and eyes looked fine. So...
I notice this beast has the same feathered hairs that turned up on my higher resolution pedipalp from last year. They're obviously in the same group, but I haven't attempted to take this one to species level yet. As far as I know now, it's just your basic "bathroom spider". (Arachnophobes, beware!
