Northern Michigan has been on the heat and storm merry-go-round lately. With the stiffling afternoon heat, not much is happening. The garden is hanging in there, but no tomatoes or squash yet - although it won't be long!
While inspecting plants (and weeds!) I noticed these spiders. I was struck by their coloration and pattern. Goldenrod Spiders show sexual dimorphism - the females are yellow. Interestingly, the males are white and on whiter flowers (like these Queen Anne's Lace) they are whiter as well.
