So, Turns Out, the Big Green Spider is Named Lynx Spider

See, 9/27, the spider's the killer. But no longer. This one, a different green lynx spider than the other one, is guarding its egg sac. Apparently, at this stage, the female, like this one, does not eat. However, this one kicked the bejesus out of a great purple hairstreak that got too close to its egg sac. I found two of these eggs sacs plus guardians today. The other one was too high up to photograph. Both were located in Solidago altissima or Solidago canandensis or whatever that Solidago is named, these days.
