Ah, more petit four lime green arthropods from the National honey bee research station that the MAGLEV will locate its trainyard on.  This one is the Northern Crab Spider (Mecaphesa asperata) the first record for Prince George's County, and possibly the last (though it seems common elsewhere) because this site will 200 acres of concrete and train tracks.  This crab spider provides a little floral surprise.  It tucks into flowers and when visitors come to the nectar bar for a quick drink, nabs them and juices them up with venom, often taking down insects quite a bit larger than they are.  Imagine if something like that lurked around your neighborhood bar!   Photo by Adam Grima

Literally took maybe a minute to see a spider walk across my wall, not freak out, grab a jar, trap it on the wall, slide a piece of paper between the jar and wall to not hurt the spider, flip it over, and release the spider outside to go eat some mosquitoes or something.
