: a candy-stripe cobweb spider (_Enoplognatha ovata_ var. _redimita_) on a Canada thistle. To the left you can see a spiky little tortoise beetle larva with its tail curled upwards to hold its protective shield of poop.

Exciting Peak Anystid discovery today: just like the spiders in early spring had webs full of clover mites, the spiders now have webs full of whirligig mites!!

An ant has captured a plant bug (family Miridae) to take back to her colony.

: an _Enoplognatha_ cobweb spider (a juvenile male going by the bulbous but undifferentiated pedipalps) delicately drawing out silk. Found down by the lake.

× : This year, at least, the _Zygiella_ spiderlings emerged in concert with the horse-chestnut blossoms. (I actually like these even more than cherry blossoms.)

Just under the wire for ! I felt bad for this five-legged running crab spider (_Philodromus_ sp.) so I caught him a nice big midge which he quickly took from my hand.

I'm very proud of this spotting: _Attidops youngi_, a jumping spider with only 3 observations in Canada and 8 total!

This tiny crab spider looks kind of grumpy that I flipped over its rock…then again, they always look grumpy.

ID: probably a _Xysticus_ ground crab spider or a similar genus.

Couldn't organise a model for today's spider pic, so just going with a well organised spider McMansion.

Notre Dame des Araignées.

In the past I've seen small orbweavers like _Zygiella_ using this crevice as a retreat, but I think these spiders are araneophages (spiders that specialize in hunting and eating other spiders)—perhaps pirate spiders (family Mimetidae) or _Platnickina_ cobweb spiders.

I failed at spider hunting today because everybody was sleeping in.

I thought today, being a rest day, would make a liar out of my daily spider presents itself claim. Then this guy fell into an incomprehensible trap.

As an Australian I can post a daily spider, but it's hard to find photogenic spiders that don't mind modelling for a toot.

Conifer cones are like high-rises for tiny spiders. Every one holds countless silk apartments, some with spiders still inside, like the dictynid in the last picture.

A (very cute) jumping spider from yesterday's walk! Anyone recognize it? Maybe a juvenile Phidippus clarus or one of the EMPPs (bugguide.net/node/view/1182999)?

From my Ontario Place visit a couple weeks ago: a tiny spiderling ballooning from a fence post, on an unseasonably warm afternoon. ? ?

A little mesh-web weaver (family ), out and about on a late January day down by the lake. The patterns on their abdomen are so mesmerizing, don't you think?
