Hamadruas is a genus of Asian lynx spider family Oxyopidae with Indo-Malayan distribution. Hamadruas spiders do not spin webs for catching prey; instead, they wait on plants for their prey motionlessly and pounce upon it as soon as it comes within their close range. Hamadruas species was observed taking care of its young ones. The female guards the egg sac by sitting above it. Even after the hatching of the egg sac, the female accompanies the spiderlings until they are ready to disperse. Due to the body color of this spider looks this spider looks like a miniature of an octopus on the leaves. A Hamadruas spider is hidden under a leaf in a forest and preys on a Sarcophaga (flesh-fly) at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 08/08/2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
