We were doing our usual walk around the block last night, and looking for bats above, and bees, hanging onto lavendar, below. I stopped to inspect one of the bees, when Jennifer asked "Hey, I think that bee's dead."
No, just sleeping.
No, dead, she responds. That spider (green small one, that lives on butterfly bushes) just crawled away from it.
So I poked it and sure enough. Dead, and dry. I found this blog (which is very cool, all about bugs) and decided it's a green lynx spider (go down to the Sept. 2007 post). Funny,the guy was asking about what the spider was that had just munched down a bee in front of him. Apparently the spider gets its name from pouncing on its prey like a cat.
