Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

A Nice Color Contrast

When I last saw a Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans), it was resting on the green leaf of my Mexican Olive tree. On this occasion, however, I spotted one on the very purple Leavenworth’s Eryngo (Eryngium leavenworthii).

Green Lynx Spiders are more often found on the green leaves of plants. They are hunters that are active during the day by pouncing on their prey — they do not use webs.

    The angles of its legs complement the spikes of the Eryngium so nicely 😄

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
