The female lynx spider (Oxyopes Javanus), a diurnal hunting spider, is having two pairs of diagonal white bands on the sides of its abdomen. This spider is hiding from its prey, mostly moths, until within striking distance. It is filling an important role by killing 2-3 moths daily, thus preventing a new generation of pests from building up in crops like rice, maize, cotton, soybeans, mung beans, pigeon peas, sorghum, wheat, sweet potatoes, and vegetables. The females are guarding their egg cocoons, which are white to light brown, globular or roughly oblong, and fastened on dried leaves or flowers of grasses. A female lynx spider (Oxyopes Javanus) is in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 7, 2024.
