Spider Blue

In light of discovering a wolf spider scampering across my strawberry patch last week, a cerulean blue egg sac nearly the size of a marble clenched dorsally to its abdomen — and in particular the disappointing difficulty I encountered attempting to classify it using online resources — I ordered and just yesterday received a copy of the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America. I’m very excited. I’ve probably mentioned this before, but I should have been an entomologist. Alas, I am but a mere bug enthusiast just trying to brush up on his Latin.
