A team of six volunteers completed this week's survey under delightfully cool and mostly cloudy conditions. While some spiders have males and females that appear rather similar, there are some species with marked gender differences. Size is not the only possible variable; the pair of Striped Lynx Spiders shown below display disparate colors. It's obvious which one gave the species its name!
