This set of caches (Bugging you) will highlight some of the insects you find in the greenway and surrounding area. A little bushwhacking may be needed to find this one.
The black-footed spider is a yellow sac spider. Common inside and outside of urban homes, it is easily recognized by its overall pale colouration (whitish, yellowish or greenish) combined with its small size (body size of adults Pads of the feet are black but this is only obvious under high magnification so the common name is somewhat of a misnomer for lay people.
Chiracanthium mildei is also recognized by its behaviour. It is a formidable hunter of insects by night, resting in a bivouac during the day. A bivouac is similar in appearance to a moth cocoon often seen lying in a corner between ceiling and wall. The silken bivouac is also used as a nursery early summer. C.mildei reproduces once per year having an approximately one year life cycle in the Province of Ontario. Adults may overwinter indoors. It is a recently introduced species (c.1950) from south-central Europe. Outdoors, C.mildei bivouacs in, especially, fruiting grapes. Outdoors, they commonly occur around decking and porching, in high warm locations, as indoors.
