Beautiful!!
Great picture with awesome detail! We can find Cheiracanthium (yellow-sac spider) in the Seattle area — usually chillin’ in their cocoon web above a door frame or a convenient upper corner of a wall or outer siding of the house.
Thanks! I use a Google Pixel phone camera with a LED pen flashlight as extra lighting. I have a Cheiracanthium (yes I spelled it incorrectly in my description) spider living in my bathroom right now. He makes flat round sleeping sacks instead of the usual door frame or ceiling/ wall groove sack. He sleeps kinda splatted, it’s cute.
That DOES sound quite cute!
