Johan, if I had that lens I asked for as my Christmas gift I would have been able to get a great close up. However, your similar spot really seems like the same one. I think I will give it that ID. I spot another, that has no spider in the door, will add soon, perhaps the same kind too.
Maybe a starting place for a search: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/110...
