Western Lynx Spider (Oxyopes scalaris) on Horkelia
I found this small Western Lynx Spider (Oxyopes scalaris, Oxyopidae) on a flowering plant of native Wedge-leaved Horkelia (Horkelia cuneata, Rosaceae) 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. I did get a good shot of the rest of the spider today, but this one is just right for . . . HBBBT! (San Marcos Pass, 25 June 2020)
