Field Notes

Description:

Striped Lynx spider with prey

I always noticed the freshest of Indian Borage leaves was being munched upon by some mysterious insect. I couldn't find the culprit for many days.

Finally yesterday the resident Striped Lynx Spider took the matter into her hands and made the poor Beetle pay with his life for the petty crime :-)
