Animal India - Lynx Spider (Oxyopes Javanus)

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.

                    Animal India - Heteropoda Venatoria

                    Huntsman spiders (Heteropoda venatoria) are a species of large spiders in the family Sparassidae, found in warm and tropical areas of Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas. They are named for their speed and hunting mode. Native to tropical regions of the world, their common names include giant crab spider and cane spider. Huntsman spiders use venom to immobilize prey and are known to inflict serious defensive bites on humans. The female Huntsman produces a flat, oval egg sac of white papery silk, laying up to 200 eggs. During this period, the female can be quite aggressive and will rear up in a defensive display if provoked. Huntsman spider bites can cause nausea, headaches, vomiting, irregular pulse rate, and sometimes even heart palpitations. A female Huntsman spider was observed carrying its egg sac under its body in a corner and door of a house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 01/06/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
