Field Notes

Description:

Brown recluse spider with a green abdomen

Habitat:

I found it in a barn under some cardboard boxes.

Notes:

I think the green color is from a caterpillar that it had fed on earlier. It must have been toxic to the spider because it died later that night (I kept it in a ventilated plastic container).
