Field Notes

Description:

Colourful spider that reminds me of lynx spiders seen in Costa Rica, though as this was in India it will not be the same.

Habitat:

Beside a track through a wooded area away from any town. The track started at 200 m but this was quite a way up the track.

I have found a similar one Pam. It might be an orange-backed lynx spider - Oxyopes kohaensis.

you could add it to the mission Spiders of India. Someone might know what it is there. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8065974
