Australian Spiders

                                       Lynx Spider
Oxyopes species.
I found this little spider crawling along our fence. It was one of the first small spiders I photographed, before I knew how to use the macro (close up) features on my camera.
Lynx spiders come in a variety of colours and can be found roaming almost anywhere in the garden. They look like and are sometimes confused with jumping spiders. This spider had a body length of about 10 mm and an overall length of approximately 20 mm.
