Whitman's Jumping Spider (Phidippus whitmani)

Observer

Description

Beautiful Jumping Spider, think species is right... when I first observed it from a slight distance while standing up, thought it was a velvet ant (genus Dasymutila), which they closely mimic.

Pileated woodpeckers have been seen and heard in the general area for many years, including recently. Have watched them at work in other areas, creating this type of sign, my initial guess.

Wild Gingers (Genus Asarum)

Observer

walkwithbears

Date

January 23, 2024 01:03 PM EST

Description

Green leaves that easily catch your eye on the forest floor in January.

Natural area associated with an historical landmark/park... for me, this island of a natural area - surrounded by ever-increasing urbanization is what's really valuable as opposed to the "heritage-like" historical aspect which I can easily pass on.

Is a place in the area to connect with Nature, where only a few visit, a rareity in the growing metropolis swallowing up the state of North Carolina, from the Piedmont to beyond. Location somewhat generalized to help keep area protected from over-use, a common situation of natural areas around here.
