Western Lynx Spider on an acorn

I found a tiny Western Lynx Spider (Oxyopes scalaris, Oxyopidae) on an empty acorn cup of 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, 24 February 2024)
