Lynx spider - Oxyopes elegans
A discovery on a rose flower, was this tiny spider only millimetres in diameter. At first I though it was a jumping spider but on seeing the image enlarged it was evidentially something else. By looking up spider identification sites, I was able to find that it is a Lynx spider. Apparently these spiders do not make webs and capture tiny insects by ambush at high speed. So interesting to see what is not normally so visible.
