Hi Bugman,
This is a Yellow Lynx spider, Oxyopes variabilis, dining on a mosquito. These guys stalk their food and then pounce like a cat, hence their name. Thought it might make an interesting addition to the food chain pages. Taken April 14, in Queensland Australia.Thanks,

Hi again Trevor,
We have a similar Green Lynx Spider. Thanks for your great Food Chain addition.
