Not only did my visit to the garden this morning turn up the bugs on the other post, I saw for the first time a huge green lynx spider. I was curious as to why I found 2 dead honey bees on the leaves of my basil. I kept looking and found the spider, which I was able to ID.

Here's the spider in my garden:

and here's the link I found about it:

It does control many pests in the garden but unfortunately has a taste for some beneficial ones as well.
