A Spider New to Virginia collected on HSC Campus

I just wanted to add this website to the links section to keep track of it (it's the first record of Crossopriza lyoni in Virginia), as well as cite it on the info page for that species. The record is vouched for, as it was announced by Dr. Bill Shear.
