Oxyopes Salticus In India
Striped lynx spider (Oxyopes salticus) is a species of lynx spider. Its habitat tends to be grasses and leafy vegetation; grassy, weedy fields, and row crops. Adult specimens have some color variation between orange, cream, and brown. Adult females typically have stripes on both the carapace and abdomen, though on many specimens, the stripes are more pronounced on the abdomen. This spider has pedipalps (commonly shortened to palps or palpi) like 'boxing gloves'. There is generally a diamond cardiac mark, and macrosetae covering legs I-IV. There is a broad clypeus. Adult females range in size from 5-6mm, and adult males range in size from 4-5mm.
