Lost In Luminescence
This glimmering lynx spider’s web was photographed in Santiniketan, West Bengal. The nearly 500 species of lynx spiders are largely characterised by the prickly spines on their legs and their unique hexagonal eye arrangement. Despite their ability to spin intricate webs, lynx spiders barely use them to hunt prey. Instead, they stalk and pounce on their prey, lurking patiently behind flowers for unsuspecting pollinators.
