I would like either of these men to give me ONE GOOD REASON TO GO AND KILL OR (TAKE) A BALD EAGLE! Don't we have enough things to kill in this world without taking our National Symbol. I would like to see anyone explain this to a soldier or a family that has lost a loved one defending our country and the symbol that is stand for! There should 0% take! Period!

We have many green lynx to observe here in So. California. The egg sac is typically tan colored, shaped like a rounded bowl with a lid and possessing numerous spiky projections. The sacs are lodged (more than attached) in the shrub-tops and always (in our experience) tended by the female. The female produces a messy tangle of web sometimes curling under a leaf or two. She will move the egg sac from time to time; I suspect this is often in response to temperature. One spider this year produced a distinctly yellow sac, hence the search for info. Love these spiders!

Really sorry for the slow reply - the blog has been slipping lately as I have been swamped with work. I think I know exactly what spider you are seeing. Leucauge venusta, the Orchard Orbweaver. Does it match <a href="http://bugguide.net/node/view/262141" rel="nofollow">this photo</a>? This is a small spider that is common throughout the east. Hi Jennifer!

They are predatory, so they might actually help by eating some of the insects that might be feeding on the plants. Sorry for the slow reply, but no, they wouldn’t be bad for your plants at all.

I'm glad you had such good success with it, and I will have to try that method on my remaining stand of knapweed. Chris – Thanks for the update on Milestone.

So so BEAUTIFUL! I was just in Alabama recently and I am kicking myself for not taking a picture of a big fuzzy white moth I saw outside my balcony...I can't seem to find a picture of a moth like her anywhere!!!

The straight Milestone at 7 ounces per 100 gallon rate boom sprayed within a 20-acre densely infested area had tremendous results--- we have to look quite hard to find a knapweed plant last week. Grasses are intact. Based on this result and several others I've witnessed, I think Milestone has great potential. Chris Matt,
