Wow, now you have a golden lynx spider too.
Maybe you can create a mission for the Indian Lynx Spiders as well.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful spider. Love when I get to see all the angles of the creatures, thank you for sharing.

Yes Gerardo. It is a typical behaviour of the spiders to clean their legs when they are free..!
