Lynx Spiders are a species of venomous spider from the family Oxyopidae. They spend their lives as hunting spiders and are found on small plants near the ground like bushes and grasses.

They are ambush hunting spiders, that do not trap their prey in webs, but instead subdue their victims with their venomous fangs (chelicerae).
IDENTIFICATION: This species of Lynx Spider is yellowish to light-brown, with
a pattern of white markings. They are around 4–8mm in length and have eight eyes in total, with one pair placed high up on the top of the head.
