  1. A pretty meh day but still managed to see several spiders:

    - a mesh-web weaver couple
    - a crab spider, something in Coriarachnini
    - _Attulus fasciger_ with that teeny tiny posterior median eye clearly visible
    - a cobweb spider, maybe _Enoplognatha_?

  5. Today in the park, I noticed a lot of small flies around this one unhealthy-looking plant, a mint of some kind, that had been put outside the greenhouse. I looked closer to find…a flower crab spider (family Thomisidae, tribe Misumenini) feeding on a plant bug (family Miridae)! The small flies are kleptoparasites trying to get a bite of the spider's meal. It periodically flicked the flies away with its spare legs and moved around to get away from them, in vain.

    I don't see flower crab spiders that often so this was a nice find.

  10. #SpiderSunday: several of the spiders I met on that one warm day last week! A running crab spider (_Philodromus_), a bold jumping spider (_Phidippus audax_), some kind of crab spider in tribe Coriarachnini (_Bassaniana_?), and a good old zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_) with what looks like most of a mesh-web weaver (family Dictynidae).
