Yes, I think that is correct. Reddit is pretty cool site. This species has weird eyes. Two horizontal rows with four red eyes in each row on a green face. Does your camera have a function that seems to reduce the glare of camera flash? Or did you manually adjust for exposure? I’m shopping for a camera based on what I can learn from other people’s spider photo results.

Thanks! I use a flexible mini LED flashlight as a tiny spotlight in addition to flash. I aim it diagonally to avoid glare off of reflective spiders. Your photo has a matte 3D look that I forgot could be done with the camera taking two rapid photos at slightly different angles. I’ll reset my phone to use that function again to see if it reduces glare. Thank you for the insight that your phone did it automatically. I totally forgot I used to use that setting to get photos of plants that looked a bit 3D. 🙂 Yay!!
