Green Lynx Spider on her egg sac
Here is a mama Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia, Oxyopidae) guarding her egg sac in a flowering plant of native Bird's Beak (Cordylanthus rigidus, Orobanchaceae). I've shown this spider before, in this photo and this photo. I'm hoping for spiderlings any day now! Arachtober 2. (San Marcos Pass, 2 October 2018)
I wasn't really planning on posting all spiders today, but spiders have been on my mind lately, and that's what I have. There were clouds coming in from the south today along with the wind. That's our usual "rain wind" so I hope this is an omen for the predicted rain tomorrow. There's a rumor that we might get an inch of rain up here in the mountains, but confidence isn't high. The first storm of the rain-year is always exciting!
