Brisbane Wildlife Photos: Lynx Spider


Lynx Spider, originally uploaded by 7thSage.

This photo is of a Lynx Spider in Brisbane - it was taken by flickr user 7thsage. And it's an awesome close-up shot.

You can find out more about the Lynx Spider at Wikipedia, or The Find-A-Spider Guide, or at Brisbane Insects.

Thanks for blogging my photo!

I was in Brisbane for the weekend. There were lots of lynx spiders around but very few other types. Scary critters especially when they fill the viewfinder with slavering mandibles....

Hey Matt, no probs. It's an awesome/creepy looking shot. Personally, I get more creeped out by the hair on the legs rather than the mandibles. I certainly wouldn't want to get this close to one of these things!
