Striped Lynx Spider on Green Leaf

in hive-144064 •  14 days ago 

Today's post goes to a small stripped lynx spider (Oxyopes scalaris) that I found calm on the leaf in cloudy afternoon. Lynx spider is commonly found around the bush, perching from one leaf to another but sometimes we also find them not making a lot of moves which allowed us to take a photo in a proper way. It is known to feed on a wide variety of insect prey, including several economically important insect pests. This lynx spider species is one of the most abundant beneficial spider species in gardens, yards, and agricultural fields. So here are some macro shots of lynx spider that I found just this late afternoon outdoor. We probably don't really know that this spider is nocturnal hunters that spend their days in their silken retreats. Despite its nocturnal insect, we can also find them during the day, likely hibernating in the bush. They did not make a lot of moves during the daylight, so I could be able to make a couple of macro shots.
