Brown Lynx Spider
This is a Brown Lynx (Family: Oxyopidae) spider that would ambush on their prey, mostly the insects and other entomological creatures that venture near the leaves and flowers that these predators rest upon.
Try to locate the 8 eyes on the top of the head of this spider.
In this way of predating operation, they are very much like the crab spiders, which belong to a totally different family - Thomisidae.
The Lynx spiders come in different colourations including huge green spiders with white stripes and spots on the bodies, yellow variations and brown variants, depending on the plants that they choose to live.
Though these do not build intricate tent-webs or elegantly geometric orb-webs, they construct tiny shelters in the curvature of the leaves and even lay their eggs there.
Their defensive stance is to raise the first two legs straight up the sky, giving them a larger-than-reality look.
