yup. thats it. thanks annorion
yeah. I've always known them to be called crab spiders. But I see that common name is for a spider of a much different variety
this is a wild spotting NatralList.
these things are everywhere down here. i wonder how they taste...
I caught one of these in Tampa Bay, Florida one time. They have beautiful emerald eyes, a dolphin went for it while i was reeling it in then changed its mind :D
there are a few look alikes, if they have green spore prints at maturity they are more likely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorophyll...
if its a shaggy parasol yes. you want to make sure it isnt one of these though.... Chloerophyllum molybdites

^ this kind will have green spores and is toxic
looks like a shaggy parasol to me. A bunch of these have been popping up around my apt complex.
