Spider fight! Two Grass Lynx spiders (Oxyopes) having a stand off.<br /> Its not possible to identify these spider to species level the experts say, but looking in my book I would hazard a guess at the red one on the left being O. flavipalpus and the other on the right being O. hoggi.

    These spiders are so awesome, they look unlike any other spider I've seen. Note that I encourage you to identify them based on your current idea. A likely match is better than no match at all, and everybody is free to challenge it. Posted 11 years ago
