Description
So dllavaneras challenged me to a Nature / Wildlife photo challenge. Here's my entry for the first day! A bit creepy, sorry
In case you were curious, arachnids (and lots of insects) molt in order to grow, much in the same way a snake sheds its skin. So when a spider molts, it looks like there's a weird clone of itself next to it!
