This is the corpse of a spider I found in our basement. Ugly in that some are uncomfortable with spiders, death, and mold to begin with, yet lovely in the contrast and form they created. (5 years and 3183 days ago)

It is a truly beautiful photo, capturing the delicate form and giving it a sense of the web spinning life it once had. Very stunning photo.
wonderful
Wow, I didn't realize it would get moldy like that. I thought they kind of just broke down quickly.
Thanks for the nice comments. I imagine normally they wouldn't get like this, but our basement is not a finished area. It's mainly a hole under the house with some shelves, the water heater, and the fuse box. We don't really go down there very often. It's constantly dark and very cool, even in the summer. I'd guess these conditions led to his preservation in this way.
So now you know where Not to hide the bodies bwah ha ha
