Lynx Spider
Hamadraus sp. Family: Oxyopidae

Field Notes
Description:
Lynx spider is the common name for any member of the family Oxyopidae. 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.
Habitat:
Seen at a forest in Goa which lies in a rainforest region with a tropical climate, warm and humid.
