Album of Port Angeles Field Trip

Selected photos by Rod Crawford and Laurel Ramseyer from our 31 May 2022 spider collecting trip to sites in and around Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington. Laurel wanted another check on the spread of her introduced Ozyptila, and I wanted general records from the grid-area containing this fair-sized city, where I had none before. She visited 3 urban habitats and got a welcome negative result; whereas our results for my project, at 3 more-natural sites (Valley Creek, Lincoln Park and a giant coastal grass field) were very positive, 56 species!
