Green Spiders

By SKEETER
Blogging never ceases to amaze me! I was at Randy and Megs Blog, (Click HERE to view) on Tuesday. Randy posted about a Green spider. I made mention in the comments how I have never seen a Green Spider in person. Well, today I spotted one in my Georgia Gardens! Thanks to Randy, I know this is a GREEN LYNX SPIDER, In the Garden...

  1. Very cool! Sometimes it seems like that-you hear about something you've never seen and then it is everywhere. Love it when that happens. Not sure if I've seen one of these but will be looking.

  2. Skeeter,

    Pretty cool you found one so quick. These guys will stick on flowers and grab anything that lands on them. I have a photo of a male and female together here somewhere.

  3. What a pretty spider. It looks like it is apart of the flower too.

  4. Tina, I know it seems to happen like that some times. I think it is so neat how people in different states can experience the same things. Be on the lookout....

    Randy, I know I could not believe it when I spotted this one! One day later! I told my hubby to check out the spider as he had never seen a green one either. It is a very beautiful spider...

    MKGirl, Yes, I found this spider by trying to smell the flower. When I got close to the flower with my nose, the flower moved. I backed off and then saw the spider. Thank goodness he did not get my nose. That would have hurt...

  9. That spider is GORGEOUS!!! She fits into the surrounding purple colors so well! And thanks to you showing the yellow garden spider a while back, I was able to ID one for someone else. I find spiders fascinating! :)

  11. Roxanne, this is a very beautiful spider, one i still haven't seen here. It looks like an ornamental spider, if there is such a thing. I dont mind having many of them. I wonder if this is helpful in eating other unwanted garden insects.

  12. How cool is this! I've learned more about wildlife and insects from reading blogs than anywhere else, I think.
