Lynx spiders, in spite of being largely ambush hunters, are very speedy runners and leapers, alert and with good vision. EM10mk3 60mm2.8f 1/200, f11, ISO200, 0ev
Lynx Spider, the wait and watch player of ambush.
Most of them have large spiny bristles on their legs and in many species the bristles form almost a basket-like structure that may assist in confining the prey that they grasp, and protect the spider from its struggles. Most Oxyopes and Hamataliwa species are small to medium in size; they tend to be drab ambush hunters; depending to some extent on the season, some occupy flowers, ambushing pollinating insects. In this they resemble the crab spiders (Thomisidae) in behaviour. Others crouch in wait, camouflaged on plant stalks or bark.
