Lynx Spiders (Oxyopidae)

Lynx Spiders (Oxyopidae)

Description:

Taken in Singapore, Venus Drive Park. At night, Lynx can be seen in full hunt mode. Always with a pray grabbed by their clawed legs.

Habitat:

They are mostly hunters which to me judging by their skills, are very good. They are ever alert all the time. They can be Cannibal too.

Peucetia spiders are very good at catching bees and wasps. The long stiff spines on their legs enable them to catch the wasp without really touching it.
