IT BEGINS

The first missing-sector orbweaver spiderling (_Zygiella_) of spring! I gasped and immediately got out my phone much to the bemusement of the neighbour who was putting out yard waste bags immediately in front of the fence the web was in.

Later (as I explained), this spider will start making webs with a distinctive slice cut out of them, with a signal line down the middle leading directly from the hub to its retreat.

Some arachnids from today:

- young _Mangora_ orbweaver
- _Naphrys pulex_ (I think?), considering some kind of hymenopteran
- and most excitingly, Trombidiidae that aren't _Allothrombium_! I'm not quite sure whether they're both _Trombidium_, the first one is oddly not velvety at all but more rough-textured, and more flat than plump, like Smarididae if it were trombidiid-shaped. I am going to upload the pics to BugGuide to see what the experts say.

#DailySpiderPic: night spiders!

A couple big _Larinioides_; a silky _Clubiona_ leaf-curling sac spider; and a running crab spider.

Most of the spiders out and about now were born last year and overwintered. They are reaping a plentiful bounty of midges (family Chironomidae), which have begun to emerge.

Have got back from a long-postponed outing to forage for seeds and berries for guerrilla native plant gardening! Goldenrod, milkweed, Virginia creeper, staghorn sumac, brown-eyed Susans, etc. I saw two cottontail rabbits and a few black-capped chickadees. Plus, this small orbweaver (_Zygiella_) nestled in a staghorn sumac (_Rhus typhina_) bob.
