rroutledgeDescription
Cambium removed around areas of Pinus strobus where blister rust previously produced "fruiting bodies". Feeding on mycelia I assumed. Originally had labelled as red sq but so long ago and based on one image of tracks... could have been n. fly sq. Both species very common on property.

Two-spotted Cobweb Spider (Asagena americana)Observer
tigerbbDescription
My son spotted this sweet, slow little spider on the kitchen floor. I initially took pictures, thinking it was A. americana, and then dropped it in a corner of my bedroom to build a web if it wished. Later, when I looked at the photos, it looked like such a raisin, I thought it had to be another species altogether! After finally deciding it just had to be incredibly dehydrated, I went to see if she was still where I left her. Sure enough, the poor thing hadn't moved. I picked her up and spent the next 15 or so minutes picking up condensation from a drink nearby and letting her drink it from my finger. The first photo is a side-by-side comparison of the before and after. I don't know if she was destined to make it or not, but I tried to give her a little boost. And while I'm not able to get out for spider hunting right now, this was the next best way to spend the first day of Spider Fest 2021!
