This week's Species Sunday observation is of Engyodontium aranearum: a kind of fungus that parasitizes the long-bodied cellar spider. So, what we see here is just the body of the spider, overtaken by the fungus. It was observed in Reedsburg, WI by Lindsey Broadhead (driftlesslinds on iNaturalist).

On Saturday, we enjoyed exploring the new Sisters Woods of St. Francis of the Holy Cross with our community! It was a wonderful opportunity to build connections, learn about many different species, and celebrate the value of conservation.

We'd like to extend a special thank you to the Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross for their donation of this preserve and for celebrating with us in honor of St. Francis's feast day.
