One dozen volunteers contributed to this week's survey under hot and sunny conditions. Spiders breathe through a pair of book lungs (no relation to terrestrial vertebrate lungs), organs containing folded plates to optimize gas exchange. These reside in air-filled pouches on the underside of the abdomen which are clearly visible in the ventral view of the Bold Jumper shown below.
