Macro: Oxyopes javanus "Spider Lynx"

1.jpg

This time, I'll be talking about a small spider called "Spider lynx" or Oxyopes javanus - source which is also known as a green leaf spider in Indonesia. Unlike the spiders, I'm used to seeing, this type of lynx does not build webs as nests or traps for its prey; instead, it lives on leaves or grass where insects or beetles might perch and become food for the spider.

I photographed this spider using a smartphone camera with an additional macro lens 100mm, the distance from the lens to the object was about 10cm, when I approached the spider was still on a leaf and did not pay attention to me who was photographing it, at first I thought that the object would immediately leave if approached and found that he remained silent as if nothing had happened.
