Green Lynx Spider

No matter what flower you are looking at you can guarantee there will be a Green Lynx Spider patiently waiting.

What caught my eye was how big the Green Lynx spider (photo below) was, it had to be able to hold on to that bumble bee.

It takes a lot of patience to stay still for so long and wait for hours until a butterfly, bee or even a grasshopper is within its reach. Sometimes they succeed while in the video I believe most often they don’t.

 

I believe those are leafcutter bees that are mating, at least it was “are” instead of “were”!
