Album of Odd Fellows Cemetery Field Trip

Selected photos by Rod Crawford and Dolly Owen from our 7 July 2025 spider collecting trip (with Jerry Austin) to Odd Fellows Cemetery and vicinity, south of Raymond and east of South Bend, Pacific County, Washington. We got a basic sample from the cemetery itself and its forest edges, then supplemented this from adjacent timberland and got a final, excellent record of Sitticus palustris in a nearby tidal marsh, for 37 species in all.
