Oxyopidae
Lynx spider (Oxyopidae) is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1870. Most species make little use of webs, instead spending their lives as hunting spiders on plants. Many species frequent flowers in particular, ambushing pollinators, much as crab spiders do. They tend to tolerate members of their own species more than most spiders do, and at least one species has been identified as exhibiting social behaviour. Description There are several genera of Oxyopidae and they differ in their habits and adaptations. 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. Lynx spiders, in spite of being largely ambush hunters, are very speedy runners and leapers, alert and with good vision. Oxyopidae in general rely on k ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oxyopes
''Oxyopes'' is a genus of lynx spiders found worldwide. It includes arounds 300 species and is classified under the lynx spider family Oxyopidae. Like other lynx spiders, they are easily recognizable by the six larger eyes arranged hexagonally on top of the head (prosoma), with the remaining smaller two eyes in front. They are also characterized by long spine-like bristles (setae) on their legs. They are ambush predators, actively hunting prey by sight. Though they produce and use silk, they do not build webs to capture prey. The genus was first established in 1804 by the French zoologist Pierre André Latreille. The generic name means "keen-eyed", from Ancient Greek ὀξύς (''oxús'', "sharp") and ὤψ (''ṓps'', "eye"). Species Species classified under ''Oxyopes'' (including subspecies) and their distribution ranges are the following: * '' Oxyopes abebae'' Strand, 1906 — Ethiopia, East Africa * '' Oxyopes acleistus'' Chamberlin, 1929 — USA, Mexico * ...

Peucetia Viridans
''Peucetia viridans'', the green lynx spider, is a bright-green lynx spider usually found on green plants. It is the largest North American species in the family Oxyopidae. This spider is common in the southern U.S., Mexico, Central America, and in many West Indies islands, especially Jamaica. Description The body of the female may be as much as long. The male is smaller, being more slender and averaging in length. There often is a red patch between the eyes, with a few red spots on the body. The eye region is clothed with white appressed hairs. The dorsal surface of the abdomen bears about six Chevron-like marks with the centres pointing forward. The legs are green to yellow, bearing long black spines such as appear on the legs of most species of Oxyopidae, and with a generous scattering of black spots. ''Peucetia viridans'' is confusingly similar to '' Peucetia longipalpis'', the other ''Peucetia'' species to occur in the United States, but ''Peucetia longipalpis'' tends to ...
