This little guy was like a streak of lightning when he would start moving. He would jump from place to place I had serious dificulty keeping up with him and getting a decnt photo. This is the first Lynx Spider anyone around here had ever seen in person, including me. These are my favorite spiders, hope to find a nice big female befroe the year is out.
