Lynx Spider
by Amanda, Helene & Jennifer

The lynx spider has 8 eyes in the shape of a hexagon. Their eyes are set in 4 rows of 2 each. Some are yellow and some are green. Usually they live in shrubs on trees and they like to live in warm climates. Lynx spiders are hunting spiders that chase their prey over grass and wait for them. They do not spin webs. They use their silk as a dragline. Lynx spiders have good eyesight and are busy during the day. Sometimes they wait in flowers to jump on a visiting insect.
