Spider:
These plants were very pretty!
Although I do not document it well in this photograph, the plants
were Sarracenia flava var. ornata. Man, some were really
beautiful because the pitcher
venation was essentially black.
It was really astonishing. I had seen this color pattern only once
before, in some cultivated plants. (See for example these photographs
of cultivated specimens grown at a university collection:

The green lynx spider (Peucetia viridans) seen here
is hanging onto a big dead wasp. It was very pretty, but
it was even more shy. Whenever it saw me move, it dropped into the
pitcher to hide. Only by moving very slowly was I able to stalk it.
It took about 30 minutes before I got close enough for a photograph I
wanted to take.
