Groenbossie (Lasiopogon glomerulatus)Observer
stevejonesDescription
Found while doing off-trail work under permit with the city of Scottsdale. Three plants, less than an inch tall, flowers about the size of Logfia arizonica with which it was growing. I'm stumped. Considered but doubt: Logfia depressa (no mucros on leaves), Diaperia verna (flowers don't match) and Gnaphalium palustre (flowerheads appear solitary rather than capitate glomerules).

Scandarma gracilipesObserver
danielaustinDescription
This observation is for the crab. The spider is logged in a separate observation. The crab was observed in the spider's web, still alive. Evidently it must have fallen into the web from a tree trunk above. It was unable to free itself and at first the spider kept its distance. Within a couple of hours, The crab was no longer moving, suggesting that the spider had successfully administered a venomous bite. The crab was subsequently trussed up in silk and carried higher up in the web by the spider.
