I don't normally get excited with spiders but this guy was playing hide and seek for 15 minutes and then decided to stood still for another 15 minutes. Weird... but it did gives me a chance to test my homemade diffuser and made some on-field correction to it... so thank you Lynxie...

This mother was having her babies. And man where there a lot of them. I brushed the web and they went scattering all over the place. It was actually pretty cool.
Some species of Oxyopidae eating an ant on a fig leaf in my backyard -- as they appear to enjoy doing.

I found another tiny Western Lynx Spider (Oxyopes scalaris, Oxyopidae) on native Scrub Oak (Quercus berberidifolia, Fagaceae) in the woods today. Its heavily spined legs give it away as a Lynx Spider, related to the more familiar Green Lynx Spider in this photo, but this one is much smaller. (San Marcos Pass, 21 April 2024)
A member of Oxyopidae family. This was the first sighting of an Oxyopid on the fig tree. Now we can find at least a couple every evening.
