Lynx spider

[Lucas339]

I don't really post much anymore. Sold off all of my collection and I am no focusing on snakes again. Found this guy at work. I have seen a couple before but they were never this big. Pictures taken by a friend, not me. I don't have a camera at work. Location is Fort Pierce, FL.

Anyway, here are the pictures. We keyed it out to be Peucetia viridans.

Neat. Pretty crazy looking.

These are awesome. We've been running across quite a few lately in patches of goldenrod. Many have been mf with egg sacs which look somewhat like an Old European cut diamond- or with a little more imagination, a UFO.

Nice pics...was hoping to see these while in your area, but saw only one young'n.

TerryD- What is it about goldenrod? It's been a host plant for a lot of my finds this summer. I did notice it attracts many of the smaller bees.
