Today’s photo of the week is of the Green Lynx Spider, Peucetia viridans. I’m not much of one for spiders, but I found this one rather interesting. It has vibrant colors of green and yellow, and has huge fangs. Its legs are transparent, spotted, and thorny. I have never seen a spider quite like this before and actually found it beautifully accented to its environment. To my surprise they can be found in Fullerton, CA, in your everyday home gardens.

These particular photos were taken by Jacob Hastings Lloyd Davies.
He was able to capture the detail, which you can see more clearly below.
