An optical switch is formed by introducing light lengthwise to a microcantilever waveguide directed toward a second waveguide. The microcantilever is caused to bend by light emitted from a laser diode orthogonal to the microcantilever and at an energy above the band gap, which induces stress as a result of the generation of free carriers. The bending of the waveguide directs the carrier frequency light to a second receptor waveguide or to a non-responsive surface. The switch may be combined in an array to perform multiple switching functions rapidly and at low energy losses.

The U.S. Government has rights in this invention pursuant to contract number DE-AC 05-960R22460 between Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corporation and the Department of Energy.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of optical switching. The switching mechanism is a micro-mechanical movement of a cantilever device induced by optical absorption, in a wave guide material, of photons above the energy band gap of the material.
The effect can be used to modulate or switch an optical channel and may be cascaded to form an ultrahighspeed network switch.
2. Background
Micro-mechanical sensors measure physical quantities by utilizing variations in the physical properties of fabricated microstructures. Advances in micro-fabrication techniques have resulted in improved dynamic response, reduced size, high precision, reproduceability and reliability. Micro-mechanical mass-produced cantilevers of various shapes have been used in atomic force microscopes, scanning tunneling microscopes, and for the detection of chemicals (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,719,324 and 5,445,008), for the detection of physical parameters such as force, acceleration, acoustics, flow rate, viscosity and temperatures [c.f. Thundat et al., Microscale Thermophysical Devices 1:185 (1997)] and as a specific infrared spectrometer [c.f. U.S. Pat. No. 5,977,544].
Optical switches present a technical challenge, and equipment available represents a compromise between optical throughput, rejection efficiency, speed, size and cost. For example, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,841,912 which discloses an optical switching device which employs an electrically triggered piezoelectric layer associated with an optical waveguide to switch by generation of an acoustical wave.
It is an object of this invention to provide an optical switch of a very small size for use in micro-miniaturized optical circuits.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an optical switch which can operate at speeds above 1 MHz.
It is another object of this invention to provide an optical switch which does not interfere with the operation of other switches and components of an optical device.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an optical switch which generates minimal heat while in use regardless of the rate of switching.
These and other objects may be achieved by using a micro-mechanical semiconductor beam as a waveguide and using photon-induced stress to direct a beam of light traveling through the waveguide. Photons impinging on the beam generate �free� charge carriers in the beam which causes an increase or decrease in the lattice constant of the semiconductor, thereby causing the beam to bend reversibly.
FIG. 1 is a graphical representation of the deflection of a silicon microcantilever exposed to photons at a wave length shorter than the energy cutoff.
FIG. 2 is a plot of deflection distance versus power for a silicon microcantilever irradiated at 780 nm.
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic representation of an on/off switch according to this invention.
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic representation of a multi-channel optical switch according to this invention.
Micro-mechanical devices are formed levers or microcantilevers made from silicon and other semiconductor crystalline materials. They can be produced at a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility at ever-decreasing cost using methods of fabrication developed for the semiconductor computer industry.
Typical dimensions for commercially available microcantilevers are 100-200 um long, 20-40 um wide and 0.6 um thick. (Digital Instruments and Park Scientific, both of CA). The cantilevers may be coated on one or both sides by vapor deposition, sputtering, Langmuir-Blodgett film transfer, and other means.
When photons are impinged upon the surface of a microcantilever, several effects may be observed. As a solid, the microcantilever is heated and classical thermal expansion is observed. As a semiconductor, free charge carriers may be generated which also induce a mechanical strain.
For a semiconductor with a band gap energy εg, the change in total surface stress due to photogenerated excess charge carriers, Δn, and changes in temperature ΔT, will be the sum of the photoinduced stress, Δspi, and thermal stress, Δsth, given by,
where, dεg/dP is the pressure dependence of the band gap energy, a is the thermal expansion coefficient, and E is the Young's modulus. A hole (in the valence band) decreases the energy of covalent bonds while an electron adds to the bonding (or antibonding) energy. Since dεg/dP can be either positive or negative there can be a competing effect between the photoinduced and thermal stress. For example, when dεg/dP is negative, the photoinduced stress is of opposite sign than that of the thermal stress which will tend to make the semiconductor crystal contract. On the other hand where dεg/dP is positive, the photoinduced stress will tend to make the semiconductor crystal expand.
Assuming a semiconductor cantilever of length l, width w, and thickness t, the maximum displacement zmax due to photoinduced and thermal stresses is given by
where v is the Poisson's ratio. An absorbed power, Φabse Td of photons with wave length λ(=hc/eg) will produce a number density of excess charge carriers, Δn, given by
where η is the quantum efficiency, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and TL is the lifetime of the carriers in the semiconductor. The maximum displacement zmax due to photogenerated carrier can then be written as
Since the charge carriers can be generated in a very short time the photoinduced stress can manifest itself much faster than thermal stress. Of course, the overall change in zmax will depend on the physical and mechanical properties of the semiconductor. From Eq. (4) we can estimate the relative contribution of the photoinduced stress and thermal stress to the bending of Si (eg=1.12eV) microcantilevers such as the one used in the present studies having length l=100 um, thickness t=0.5 um, and width w=20 um. The amount of photon energy needed to raise the temperature of a mass of Si equal to 2.3�10−9 g by 10−5 K is Φabse Td=(Nhv=cpmΔT=) 1.62�10−14 J where cp for Si is 0.702 Jg−1 K−1. If the photon wavelength is λ=1.1 um then 8.94�104 photons will be required. Therefore, the bending due to thermal stress is zpimax=1.39�10−10 cm. In order to estimate the bending due to the photoinduced stress we assume the quantum efficiency η=1 and that the charge carriers are uniformly distributed. Then, the carrier number density is Δn=8.936�1013 cm−3. Using dεg/dP=−2.9�10−24 cm3 for SI we get zpimax=5.19�10−10 cm which is about 3.7 times larger than the bending due to thermal stress for the same power.
The bending can be observed in numerous ways: Optical readout; capacitance; piezo-resistivity; and electron tunneling. Hoh et al. [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 114, 4917 (1992)] and Ohnesorge et al. [Science, 260, 1451 (1993)] have reported the measurement of cantilever bending as small as 5�10−12 m.
FIG. 1 shows the separate response to photogenerated charge carrier and thermal effects for a silicon microcantilever coated on one surface with aluminum and exposed to pulsed photons with λ=780 nm having an absorbed power of 3.9 nW. Curve (a) represents the observed deflection when the signal was modulated as indicated by the squared plot (b). Curve (c) represents the deflection resulting from thermal effects. In the system shown, the thermal effects may be characterized as noise.
Microcantilever bending due to photoinduced stress has been found to be a function of absorbed power. FIG. 2 illustrates the bending of a Si microcantilever as a function of absorbed power using a fixed wavelength (780 nm) emitted from a diode laser. The deflection is due primarily to photoinduced stress. The deflection increases linearly with increasing power.
The phenomenon described supra may be used to fabricate an optical switch. In a first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a simple modulation or on/off switch is illustrated. A Si cantilever 1 attached to a base 2 is juxtaposed to a second cantilever 3 attached to base 4. The relative lengths of 1 and 3 are not material so long as cantilever 1 is long enough to be deflected a sufficient distance so as to point away from the tip of cantilever 3 when irradiated with photons of appropriate wavelengths from diode laser 5. The tips of cantilevers 1 and 3 should be as close as possible, allowing for the avoidance of contact during bending of cantilever 1 to position 10. It is noted that the cantilever 3 need not be a semiconductor material but any compatible carrier for the frequency used. Cantilever 3 need not be of any particular length and need not extend beyond base 4. The Figure is illustrative of the concept only.
The cantilevers may be formed from Si and other semiconductor materials such as the Group III-V materials conventionally used in computer chips. Doping is not required but is allowed. To make them serve as an optical waveguide it is necessary only to ensure that the carrier wavelength passed through the waveguide must be longer than the band gap wavelength and is preferably 1.3 to 1.55 um characteristic of optic fiber light pipes.
The cantilever may be optically coupled to a light source such as an optic fiber using traditional integrated fiber optic techniques. It is not necessary to provide an additional coating to use the cantilever. An optic fiber may be dropped or inserted into an etched groove formed in the base of the cantilever. Typically, it is necessary only to etch to a depth equivalent to one-half of the diameter of the fiber.
When the cantilever is directed to a tip such as that of second cantilever 3, there is minimal loss of intensity across the gap if the tips are close butted to achieve field interaction at the gap. If the distances are unavoidably greater, efficiency may be increased by fabricating subwavelength structures at the tip. Losses as great as 6 dB can be compensated for in this manner. Interference from background light is minimal because the device is easily enclosed in a �black box.�
When the cantilevers serve as waveguides only minimal heating results, which may be minimized by the use of heat sinks attached to bases 2 and 4. So long as laser diode 5 is off, the switch is in the connected position (on) and functions as a conventional waveguide or light pipe. When laser diode 5 is activated to produce a light beam having a wavelength shorter than the band gap, the cantilever 1 bends to take position 10, and the light emitted from the tip of one cantilever is no longer aimed into the end of the other cantilever. The switch is disengaged (off). [This example is based upon the use of Si or another material having a negative pressure dependence. The reverse movement occurs if the sign is positive].
The light source used in accordance with this invention may be any available laser diode generating a beam of photons at the wavelength necessary to generate stress in the microcantilever through mobilization of charge carriers. The laser diode may be formed on a chip in the region of the microcantilever. Alternatively, it may be externally mounted and the output piped into the desired location using an optic fiber. The choice is primarily a packaging issue.
The effect illustrated in FIG. 2 may be used to effect multichannel switching as illustrated in FIG. 4 Cantilever 101 and base 102 conform to elements 1 and 2 of FIG. 3. Cantilever 103 and base 104 generally conform to elements 3 and 4 of FIG. 3. Additionally, attached to base 104 are cantilevers 120 and 121 which are also waveguides. When cantilever 101 is irradiated by photodiode 125, the cantilever will deflect to position 110 or 111 depending upon the power output of the photodiode. In the latter positions, the cantilever will be juxtaposed to cantilevers 120 or 121 and light will pass to one of the alternative waveguides (note that in the preferred embodiment, the tips of waveguide 120 and 121 are beveled slightly for better alignment).
The result is a multichannel switch which can assume any of the desired positions at the response time of the microcantilevers.
The ease with which a microcantilever can be coated on one side provides additional advantages to this invention. A coated microcantilever acts as a bimetallic element. When dεg/dP is positive, the photoinduced stress and thermal stress work in the same direction. When dεg/dP is negative, photoinduced stress and thermal stress work in opposition directions, an effect which renders the device more tuneable. In addition to Si, GaAs also has a negative dεg/dP. Gold is an easily manipulated material for coating and is preferred. By switching frequencies to above and below the band gap energies, the device of FIG. 4 may be moved above or below position 101. Such is the case for a Si microcantilever coated with Al.
The microcantilever may be tuned further by the use of very different semiconductor materials at adjacent locations to avoid interference when closely packed. For example, Si:In has a cut off wavelength of about 8 μm whereas Si:Ga and Si:As have cutoff wavelengths of 19 μm and 23 μm respectively. Proper selection of semiconductor materials allows for a more densely packed device.
As can be understood from this description, an optical switch using micro-mechanical beams as the switched element is limited in size only by the size of the microcantilever itself. The low mass of the micro-mechanical beam and its rapid response to impinging photons allows very high switching rates. There is no electronic noise generated at the switching site and shielding needs are minimal. The low mass of the device and the ease of heat sinking the switch means that external cooling is not a factor and allows easy scale up.
The invention will be further described by reference to the following examples, which are illustrative only and do not limit the invention. Modification and additions as would be apparent to one skilled in this art are subsumed within the scope of this disclosure.
A polycrystalline silicon microcantilever device having nominal dimensions (e,w,t) of 400 μm, 30 μm and 2 μm was obtained from Park Scientific Instruments, (Sunnyvale, Calif.). A v-groove may be formed on the top surface of the base of the device by first masking the surface and etching. A coating of aluminum may be applied to one side by sputtering. A commercially available optic fibre having a nominal diameter of 125 μm may be inserted into the v-groove and secured with an adhesive.
A second microcantilever may be prepared in the same manner.
The microcantilevers may be mounted on chip holders designed for atomic force microscopy. A laser diode emitting photons at 780 nm may be mounted beneath the first microcantilever. The optic fiber attached to the first microcantilever may be connected to a light source emitting at 1550 or 1300 nm. The optic fiber mounted on the second microcantilever may be connected to a laser diode. The device should be shielded in the region of the microcantilevers and the light source may be turned on. The light may be detected at the photodetector. The 780 nm diode laser may be pulsed and the pulsations matched to the on/off cycle observed at the photodetector.
A multichannel switch may be demonstrated by fabricating a third microcantilever in the same fashion as the second microcantilever in Example 1. The third microcantilever may be mounted 180� to the second microcantilever (i.e. in the direction of bending of the 1st microcantilever) and connected to a second photodetector. The power to the photodiode may be adjusted to focus the first microcantilever on the tip of the third microcantilever. The photodiode may then be cycled to focus alternately on the tips of the second and third microcantilevers and the respective signals observed.

Jameson Irish whiskey has reported a strong sales growth during the last six months of 2010. Volumes were up by 16 percent while sales values rose by 18 percent.
Jameson's growth really caught the financial world's eye. It sold more than three million cases during 2010, with one million of these cases being consumed in the United States. They enjoyed a 27 percent year-on-year growth in the U.S. market.
However, parent group, Pernod Ricard are failing to reach market expectations of its overall earnings. They saw a 14 percent like-for-like profit growth and 13 percent sales growth for the period.
Irish Distillers/Pernod Ricard chairman and chief executive, Alexandre Ricard said "The progress of Jameson within the Pernod Ricard family of brands has been one of our company's great success stories — growing from 466,000 cases when Irish Distillers joined Pernod Ricard in 1988 to one million in 1996, two million in 2006 and achieving sales of over three million in 2010."
He said "This six-month period has proven to be one of the most dynamic and successful periods ever for Jameson, as it reached two key milestones on its journey to become one of the world's top spirit brands.
"We have great ambitions for Jameson over the coming decade."
Currently Jameson is expanding the brand's warehousing and maturation capacity in a new development at Dungourney, County Cork. They are also pumping $109.4 million into their marketing and promotional spend. This is about $13.6 million more than last year's spend.

It is also key-voting an amendment by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) to create a new procedure to strike earmarks from bills, and one by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to get rid of the Export-Import Bank.
The bank is widely supported by big business, which argues it is a self-sustaining entity that levels the playing fields for global trade. Conservatives opposed its reauthorization last year because they argued its subsidized loans violate free-market principles.
President Obama this week renominated Fred Hochberg as head of the Ex-Im Bank.

Product description
Captured by a giant! The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants--rather than the BFG--she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Author information
Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. He spent his childhood in England and, at age eighteen, went to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. When World War II broke out, he joined the Royal Air Force and became a fighter pilot. At the age of twenty-six he moved to Washington, D.C., and it was there he began to write. His first short story, which recounted his adventures in the war, was bought by The Saturday Evening Post, and so began a long and illustrious career. After establishing himself as a writer for adults, Roald Dahl began writing children's stories in 1960 while living in England with his family. His first stories were written as entertainment for his own children, to whom many of his books are dedicated. Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of our time. Although he passed away in 1990, his popularity continues to increase as his fantastic novels, including James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, delight an ever-growing legion of fans.

OK I have to say one thing before I continue: I booked this hotel through a 3rd party 'bidding' website and only paid $45 per night. I called the hotel and tried to check in one night early and the rate was $169 for that.
That said: The hotel is really nice. No luxury and yes, it is somewhat old, but nicely kept and clean! I probably got the smallest room they had, but still it is pretty huge for one person. Kitchen is fully equipped (even a dishwasher!) and all china and silverware is spotless.
You'll also have a dining table and a couch with a little coffee table.
The bathroom is okay - I definitely have seen smaller ones!
I cannot agree with the person who posted before me: There ARE several food places in walking distance (Boston Market, McD, Starbucks), as well as a Giant and other stores. It is located right off Rte 7, so if you want to stay close to IAD airport and need to go to DC, Reston or McLean every day this is a good location. Dulles Town Center Mall and a lot of restaurants are in the vicinity (you need a car for that).
The free breakfast is okay - Cereals, muffins, bagels, fruit and, most important, coffee! You will have to eat out of a styrofoam bowl and there is only very little sitting space available - but hey, it's FREE! (And the dark roast coffee is very good :) )
So if you are on a budget this hotel is actually very good. (I stayed there for a whole week 'between apartments')

Birds Not Using Birdfeeder
Hi everyone. I've been feeding the birds in my backyard for months now. Unfortunately, my birdfeeder broke (it was the type with a roof, cylinder and platform for feeding). On the advice of other bird enthusiasts, I replaced it with a Droll Yankee feeder for sunflower seeds, and added another Droll Yankee feeder for nyger thistle. I've not seen a bird near either one for about a week now. The sunflower seeds are half gone, however, due to squirrels jumping on the feeder. Each feeder hangs from a 7.5' tall shepherd's hook, is spaced about 8 feet away from the (now barren) trees. What is going on? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks. We do have a birdbath nearby, but at this time of year, it's usually too cold to keep water in it (I live in Boston)--though lately--off and on--I've been able to put water in it without it freezing.
When should I change out the nyger/thistle?
I was gone for about a week and a friend who was housesitting "forgot" to feed the birds on most days during my absence.
When I got back, the feeder broke. I waited about a week before buying a new feeder. I'm so angry with myself. I miss them!
If you can find a way to have unfrozen water each day when all else is frozen you will be VERY popular with the birds. Even just an old casserole dish of fresh water on the deck/porch. If your nyjer/thistle is >two weeks old toss it on the ground for the doves. Keep the thistle bag well sealed, in a ziplock or something, to keep it fresh. Don't fret, the welfare birds will be back shortly once word gets around.
Sometimes it takes a while for the birds to figure out that you got a new feeder, especially if it's a different style/type. I keep my birdseed in the freezer so I don't have to worry about it becoming stale. They also make heaters for birdbaths.
I am also missing the birds at my feeders this year.
I have two feeders; one with sunflower seeds and one with thistle, one of those upside-down feeders specifically for finches.
I have always had lots of traffic at both feeders in the past, but this year only the sunflower seed is selling, and even that is not going quickly. I thoroughly cleaned the finch feeder and refilled it with fresh seed, but no one is visiting.
I had a hawk sitting on my deck near the feeder last week, which I'm sure freaked all the birds out. Is that why they have abandoned me? Will they come back eventually?
I have hawks too. The song birds know to scatter when they are around but soon return again. In my area, only goldfinches will feed from the amusing upsidedown feeder, that's what i have too. Tho a few chickadees have learned to do it occasionally. It may take a while to atract goldfinches until they find you. I have also found they will dissappear for several weeks in the autumn. Probably a migration or plentiful alternative food source.
Maybe consider a platform feeder or another hanging feeder with larger perches. Cardinals don't like small perches.
I can't over-emphasise how popular you will be if you make liquid water available in the winter. Also, suet cakes, especially in the winter.
BTW, far worse than hawks... do you have cats around?
Yes, we do have cats around. But that's not new, and I wouldn't swear the hawk is either. Both our feeders have always been busy in years past (I often wondered if they were part pig!) but nearly empty this year. I was also wondering if it could be our unusually warm weather.
Suggestion, Go outside either just about sunrise or sunset. Listen to see what birds are in the area. Also walk around your area. Ask yourself. Do I see birds. Do I hear birds. If so what kind. Feed for the ones you have and you will attract the ones you want. If you do not hear anything talk to your neighbors about the lack maybe you can help start a project to attract birds.
envirocop, I don't know where you are located but if you were thirsty what would you prefer no water or cool water. Lack of water can kill you but if the water is kept clean it should not make you catch a cold if you are a bird.
Strange envirocop did not mention cats? I know that there are many pros and cons about domestic cats becoming feral and I do not want to enter that argument. Let each person make their own decision that they can live with concerning cats.
In nature there generally are not vacuums. If one group is removed another will fill its place. Cats or mice or rabbits or people have all replaced something and if removed will be replaced by something else. You should be careful for what you wish for. People replaced wildlife and brought domestic animals. In some areas the wildlife is returning, remember cougars, coyotes, and bobcats, and starting to eat domestic animals, dogs, cats, etc. If the outside domestic meat eaters, that may provide food for the wild ones, are replaced by the wild ones what will prevent the mice, rats, squirrels from entering our houses for protection. Worse case I do not want a cougar, which we have in my area, to claw through my walls or attack people for food.

Help with fireplace design!
I would love any suggestions or opinions on remodeling my fireplace. We removed a railroad tie mantel and a lava rock stone front and now I don't know what to put back up. The fireplace has a raised hearth and the area to be recovered is 10 feet wide. The firebox is on the left and a place to store firewood is on the right. We are installing a Mendota full view insert and really won't be needed to store firewood.
We were thinking of going with a light colored stacked stone up to the mantel and drywall above. Now I am wondering if we shouldn't take the stone all the way up. Or, should we do something else besides stone? Would also love any suggestions on what to do with the old firewood box. Make it into shelves? Cover it up? Leave it as is? Another thought would be to panel the whole fireplace front and have one of the panels be a door to access the firewood box. I just am not sure what that would look like since the fireplace would be off center. HELP!!!
We now have windows on either side of the fireplace. On the left the windows are smaller to accommodate a build-in TV cabinet. There will be a window seat on the right side under the larger window.
Thanks so much!
Here is a link that might be useful: My Fireplace
I too am planning a lava rock removal fireplace remodel, so this caught my eye. I like the idea of stacked stone all the way to the ceiling. It may give some height with respect the bench and cabinet on either side. The wood box adds some character even if you don't use it for wood. Perhaps a statue or piece or art would look nice?
Keep us posted,
I agree with Canyonreid - woodbox does add character. What I wanted to mention is that your FP does not have to be centered. What I noticed was that your windows are not mirror images either - so the whole wall is an interesting visual balance now (shape & object balance).
Light stack-stone sounds lovely - and I would keep the firebox, and put something in it - statuary, a pot, an arrangement, seasonal decor, your dog-bed, deco firewood, whatever you like as a decorative element.
Just my $0.02. Fun! Good luck!

The Rolling Stones' 'Gimme Shelter' Sampled in New Song
One of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits is getting new life.
One of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits is getting new life.
Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis got into a fight today (June 21) with security agents apparently attempting to protect the Rolling Stones at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia -- although both the hotel and the band say it wasn't anybody who works directly for them.
While they may not be celebrating their 50th anniversary quite as enthusiastically as some fans might have wanted, the Rolling Stones appear to have gotten back into gear with their latest tour -- and guitarist Ron Wood thinks these dates will serve as a springboard into more new music from the group.
Pinned in by disco on one side and punk on the other, stuck in a creative rut that led some critics to proclaim they were yesterday's news and facing the loss of guitarist Keith Richards to an extended prison sentence, the Rolling Stones entered 1978 in need of a rebound. And they got it with 'Some Girls.'

Redd gives Bucks last second win in Cleveland
Michael Redd hit a three-pointer at the final buzzer Tuesday night to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 105-102 home win over Cleveland.
Mo Williams scored a season-high 37 points, as Milwaukee improved to 3-1 since the All-Star break and 3-0 at the Bradley Center.
The Bucks were down eight early in the fourth quarter when they staged a comeback.
Milwaukee was up four with 1:07 minutes to go, but the Cavaliers tied it on a LeBron James lay-up with 5.9 seconds left.

Flying above. Was identified by light coloring and black spotted belly band.
It hovered several times! I have a picture not taken by me if needed for identification.
This was recorded from inside by a closed window. The song is very loud and very clear.
They were everywhere in the grass and leaf litter. They were a range of sizes but mostly very small. I saw the same spiders in abundance at the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, which is close. I think I haven't seen any other spiders besides this one, so it may be the dominant species in this area (at least on the ground in the grass).
I think it may be Candelaria concolor.
Found in outdoor compost.
6 birds feeding on ground
Deceased with small puncture wound to r side about 1" down towards tail and behind the front leg. Found on slate walkway of building set in deciduous area. Appears to be approximately 3-4" in length. Color appears to be black withwith faint yellow or white strips. Belly was a silverish white.
