Flat Jumping Spider (Holoplatys lhotskyi ) - Photo 2 This is a lateral shot of the same spider as in the previous spotting. This spider is seen rearing-up on its legs  but it actually came out of the slit between wooden panels, seen to the left of the photo and it is the flattest spider I've ever seen.
