Green Lynx Spider (& babies)

12 years 9 months ago #119305 by Screamin Scott
I haven't seen any of these this year although I normally do. These shots are from the last several years. It's a very interesting arachnid.

This is the type of web they weave, on a flower bloom, they hide underneath until their prey alights on it


Here's one with its meal (a Sweat Bee)



Here is a new Mama (note the coloration change)



& here are a couple of shots of her babies...

My wife wants to know where these came from. I lied and told her they only live in the Southern Hemisphere. We've already had to move three times because of spooky spiders and stuff... :rofl: :rofl:
