I kind of thought it was a parasite but I'm unfamiliar with hornworms, fortunately. Thanks for the info.

Spiders native to very north arctic circle has gone wild and occupied my greenhouse totally.
There one of the hundreds of spiders hunting lunch below the cucumber leaf in greenhouse.

This spider is not right at the plant but spider is waiting pray at the pole what support cucumber plant to prevent it falling.

Luckily there don't have any kind of even biting spiders and poisonous, some people still scary them even they don't even harm human.. Never even known they has been bite humans before. Very effective place of growing cacti or food cause pests ain't the biggest problem.. Effective hunters indeed.
..I have followed one spider on it's job one day when I smoked a MJ and inspecting plants. It was interesting

Lixus angustatus. These guys have been showing up a lot in my greenhouse and they don't seem to harm the plants, so I let them be.

Sounds like some fun in your garden then. I've yet to see these in action myself.

Thanks! These girls are Medauroidea extradentata. They are parthenogenetic, so all are female and reproduce asexually. Very interesting little creatures!
