The lynx spider is a small, agile predator known for its sharp vision and quick reflexes.
Unlike many spiders, it doesn’t build webs but actively hunts its prey, leaping with precision to capture insects. Found in gardens, forests and fields, lynx spiders are recognized for their spiny legs and vibrant colors, which help them blend into their surroundings.
Despite their tiny size, they play a crucial role in controlling insect populations.
