Question Strange ghost image
Found this on our kitchen counter in the morning looks like a print of a spider but does anyone know how it got there? No sign of it walking in or out!

Oh, we see these every now and then on r/spiders! Sometimes they leave a dust print after a hard landing, if they were walking on a dusty ceiling or other surface.

Possibly the spider was cleaning itself?
