Wolf spider might be accurate as they are in my region. Size wise, how do you measure - I don't know the metric system too well - product of the system. Anyway - it is probably 3/4 - 7/8 of an inch wide - as you see it in the first photo - it was dead and its legs were curved in. Somewhat a large spider for our area. Getting a ruler out I would say it was less than 2 cm wide, but longer than 1.5 cm. and that is going from outside leg to outside leg as pictured? Or do you just do the the abdomen?Very nice shots, I'm a bit of a spider fan myself, and this one looks like a wolf spider (Lycosidae) but I cant tell how big the spider is.
Personally I like the second picture, its fabulously done and doesnt need stacking!
Thanks for the props, I like that second shot too.......
