🕷️Peucetia viridans
Peucetia viridans, the green lynx spider, is a bright-green lynx spider usually found on green plants. This spider is common in the southern U.S., Mexico, Central America, and in many West Indies islands, especially Jamaica. Lynx spiders are hunters specialized for living on plants. This species does not use a web to capture its prey. It pounces on its prey in a cat-like manner, which is the reason for the name lynx. It is active during the day.
