Little jumping spider on a leaf behind the pine seedling I was documenting. I didn't notice it when I took the picture or I would have tried to get a better close-up. I only saw it once I processed the pictures on the computer.

Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia)Observer
annkatrinroseDescription
Mountain laurel, with some of that weird stuff on its leaves seen in this exact location before (compare to: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/151456815 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/151457084). I'm hoping to find it again at a foray later this week where we have a permit to collect things for microscopy. In the meantime, I think that "stuff" is probably more likely pine pollen than a fungus.
