This is a rather large spider about 4cm or so lag span. Body is about 1 cm. This appears to be a female.

5 shot stack with Olympus PenF and m.zuiko 60mm macro.

This seems like a monster hanging from the corner of a house, like the size in feet rather than centimetres. Great!

I think the other leg is underneath the body. The spider was making an egg case.
