A green lynx spider (Peucetia viridana) is seen camouflaged among the green leaves on a branch of a Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), or Tulsi plant, as it patiently waits for prey in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 9, 2024. Known for its agility, this spider doesn't build webs but instead stalks its prey, launching an attack similar to a lynx in the wild. With a green cephalothorax marked by brown spots, a spine-covered head region, and a narrow abdomen with a central brown line and lateral branches, Peucetia viridana is an effective natural predator in agricultural pest management. Feeding on crop pests like moths and their larvae, these spiders serve as a natural insecticide, helping to control harmful pests in a sustainable way.
