Green Guardian

Green Lynx Spider

It stood guarding the opening to the rain gauge that I was about to empty. I very carefully dumped out the water, and the spider crawled to the outside of the tube. After the gauge was replaced, I took this photo, and then looked up the name of the spider on the internet. I couldn’t help noting that the green lynx spider was said to seldom bite humans, but when they did, the bite can be “painful, but not deadly.” Was that supposed to be reassuring?
