Green Lynx Spider?
Howdy Bugman,
Love your site. I found this really cool spider while I was trimming the bushes. She is a female, and had 1000s of young spiders in the web behind her, so I trimmed the bushes all around but left her home intact. Looks like a Green Lynx Spider, based on other pictures I’ve seen. What do you think?

Hi Tom,
Yes, this is a Green Lynx Spider, but those things behind her look like plant seeds to us.

Thanks for the reply. Those are plant seeds. You can’t see the young spiders in the picture – they are hiding deeper in the web, and out of focus. If you look closely, there is a big egg mass just below her. When I blew on the web, the young crawled everywhere, then eventually ran back in.
