We went out one evening, hoping to find some snakes, but the relatively cool and dry weather worked against us in this regard. We did, however, come across a variety of odd looking bugs and critters. We caught this spider starting his dinner - some type of caterpillar. This spider is apparently a member of the family Pisauridae - this information and identification courtesy of Bill Reynolds, Curator of the Arthropod Zoo, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
