Green lynx spider
by: Moni

Amina
You found a green lynx spider. They are known for being fast runners and great at jumping at prey. They do not use a web like many spiders.
They have great eyesight also to find, stalk, chase or ambush prey. Six of their eight eyes are arranged in a hexagon-like pattern which puts them in a special family of spiders.
This spider is found on many kinds of shrub like plants throughout the southern United States and is the largest North American lynx spider.

Like most spiders they are great predators on insects and are considered great helpers in many field crops. In the garden they are not always so helpful as they also eat lots of our beneficial insects like the bees and wasps.
