Notes

Warm and sunny with one displaying male and an immature spider basking on a pile of old logs. While these individuals are well within the range of the coastal subspecies, S. o. bocourtii, I am unable to distinguish the different subspecies, so I am choosing the more prudent course and leaving this at a species-level identification.
