A Lynx Spider setting up to ambush its next prey
It was a casual early morning walk around the outskirts of the Creek Park that I got to see flowers and leaves having feeding marks. Keen to check out what was the herbivore doing all these random damage I was surprised to see not the potential beetle or lepidopteran larvae causing the mayhem on the leaves but to spot a lone predator setting up in ambush position. As the soft wind causes the leaves to sway, the lynx spider was determined to hold on and search for potential herbivore targets.
