We knew we'd get you hooked on Araneus again! It's great that you are getting these guys/gals sorted out. Thanks!

This is all your fault! ;)
Unfortunately that might be it for now, but I'll keep tyring.

but I think I'll let it stay where it is till our "expert" comes along.

btw, for beetle IDs I've actively hunted down specialists on the Internet and asked them to take a look. I think Don Chandler, coleopterist at the University of New Hampshire, is a regular IDer in the beetles section now in large part because of my interactions with him. Doug Yanega paid us a recent visit after one of my mass mailings to coleopterists. Andrew Cline was referred to us by a mentor of his who was on my specialist list. A.G. Kiertchuk (I've surely butchered his name) from www.zin.ru in Russia is a nitidulid specialist who's volunteered to ID stuff for us. I hope to get Dan Young, who did a lion's share of the work on American Beetles after Arnett's death, to visit the site now and then. He's IDed a number of things for me by E-mail.

My point is that, with a good sales pitch, we can interest and elicit help from some top people involved with Arthropod taxonomy. Whenever I do a mass mailing I visit the statistics page for some numbers (images, pages, hits, contributors, etc.) the better to impress them with bugguide's uniqueness and increasing value as an image database.

I had one show up here in NC along the edge of a potted plant. Found its identification here: http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/beneficial/green_lynx_spider.htm

Nice pictures here: http://www.rochedalss.qld.edu.au/lynx.htm

Body shape and leg proportions don't match.

It is certainly green as are some lynx spiders, but we don't believe this one is a Lynx. Any thoughts from the spider experts?
