The family Oxyopidae, commonly known as lynx spiders, belongs to the order Araneae. These spiders are recognized for their spiny legs and excellent vision, adaptations that make them active hunters rather than web builders. They are typically small to medium-sized and often found on vegetation, where they ambush or chase down insects. Oxyopids are diurnal predators, playing an important role in controlling insect populations in gardens, fields, and natural habitats. Their agility, combined with their keen eyesight, allows them to capture prey efficiently, making them one of the most effective hunting spider families.
