Lynx Spider on Pitcher Plant - Peucetia viridans

Lynx Spider on Pitcher Plant - Peucetia viridans
Stone County, Mississippi, USA
August 14, 1989
What chance does a poor insect have? If it goes low it ends up in the Pitcher Plant's digestive juices. If it goes high it ends up nabbed, bit, and eaten by a Lynx Spider.

Very neat image,
I find a lot of tree frogs living in these. Great shot.
