Welcome to Project Noah mooseyboy01,

I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into:http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
A small migrating wader in its breeding plumage.
The pics of the spider are not very good . But the web really glowed in the morning sun and had a unique stabilimentum. I've not been able to find any pictures of a stabilimentum exactly like this one. I will call it a spiral, zig zag, discoid stabilimentum. Members of this Family produce a cribellate web. It's not sticky but snags prey with wooly fibers. They also have no venom. They are orb weavers but are not closely related to other orb weavers.
Lovely photo; background and gecko compliment each other!
This young gecko was out during the day. We usually only see them at night. I've seen them eat many moths on our windows. They have displaced the tree frogs that used to feed there.
