This is a small Crab Spider (Mecaphesa, Thomisidae) on leaves of native Southern Bush Monkeyflower (Diplacus longiflorus, Phrymaceae) in the woods today. If you look close at the space between the spider's abdomen and cephalothorax, you can see that it's carrying a passenger. I believe this is the larva of a mantidfly in the family Mantispidae of the order Neuroptera, see this photo and this photo for more info. For some reason the crab spiders have been spare this year, but the numbers are looking better for Arachtober! (San Marcos Pass, 12 September 2026)

For the first time since the Covid lockdowns in 2020, a through service Trans-Siberian Express from Moscow pulled into Ulaanbaatar on the morning of August 18, 2026.
This 8-car train was chartered by a Turkish tour group specializing in luxury itineraries. The rolling stock used are blue Golden Eagle coaches, still lettered for the original Trans-Siberian Express. The 12-day, 6300km tour took some very high paying passengers from Istanbul to Moscow, across the Trans-Siberian and down to their destination, Ulaanbaatar.
Here Mongolian Railway M62UMM-008 pulls the chartered train into Ulaanbaatar Station, where a plethora of police and station staff await the VIP guests.
