Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans). Southern US. They like moths, flies, herbivorous insects... Some gardeners like them for natural pest control. They bite which may cause swelling, but they are NOT venomous. If someone likes birds, but hates spiders, just tell them to think of spiders as bird food . #arachnids #biology #nature #gardening #photo #wildlife

Les punaises éclosent d'un œuf puis vont passer par différents stades larvaires (jusqu'à 5) pour atteindre leur forme adulte définitive.

Staria lunata est une petite punaise velue qui affectionne les globulaires (globularia sp) et ses larves sont particulièrement poilue et bien reconnaissable.
