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.

Lynx spiders, in spite of being largely ambush hunters, are very speedy runners and leapers, alert and with good vision.

“Convergent Evolution”

Some insects are as big as small birds.

“The hummingbird hawk-moth” is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.

Orb weaver starting to build its trap, it does it every evening in suitable corner of the garden, to consume it in the morning.

The recycled protein and energy to build it again.

Spiders that build the familiar orb-shaped web usually start with a single superstrength strand called a bridge thread or bridge line. ... First, the material for the bridge thread emerges from one of the spider's specialized silk glands and is formed into a strand by its spinnerets.
