Monomad - Oxyopes salticus (male)

IMG20250917103832-01.jpg

This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

On today's post, I want to share a male Oxyopes salticus spider gripping its prey. Previously I just shared a female Oxyopes salticus spider a few days ago & today I found a male that was preying on a leafhopper insect. Oxyopes salticus is a very useful species of lynx spider & its existence must be protected because it can control insect populations. Because among other spider species, the lynx spider is one that is effective at hunting insects. And I have uploaded some photos of the Oxyopes salticus spider that I mean below.

I rarely see this type of spider with its prey; it looks very dominant in these photographs. Excellent photos!
