Artist's Comments

I thought this was a green lynx spider, but... it's not green.

Any spider experts out there?

Update: Thanks to *duggiehoo for confirming that this is a green lynx spider (Peucetia viridans). ("After laying their eggs it changes to brown to blend in more with the egg sack, which it is standing on in your pic.")

Great shot!

it's a hungry spider - and a picture perfect case of being in the right spot at the right time
