green lynx spider on leaf acrylic painting
Having a garden brings about all sorts of wildlife you’ve never seen
before. One I was introduced to, and have come to adore, is the
Green Lynx spider. These arachnids that can grow to an inch in
length are a wondrous sight to see. Bright green in color, they blend
in so well with flower leaves that they’re almost invisible. The white
and black slash marks in their backs break up their outline and is
perfect for their wait-and-pounce style hunting. They make webs,
but it’s only used for anchors and nest building. Their preferred
meal is bees and wasps. They’re one of the few spiders (and the
only known in the USA) that can spray their venom forwards, for
offense and defense. Their venom is no harm to humans and they’
re docile, rarely striking unless threatened. I’ve only seen a handful
of these garden guests, but I admire them whenever I can spot them.
