Eggs, Green Lynx

Giant lynx spider with egg-sac?!!
October 5, 2009
Hi,
I found this HUGE lynx spider at my aunts house last week. It was guarding what looked like an egg sac. The spider was about an inch long, with large mandibles, and big, hairy legs. The egg sac was about half the size of a gum ball, but shaped like a gumdrop, with a flat bottom and a domed top. The outside was golden brown, and looked like curly wool.  I thought you guys would like to see these pictures since you don’t have any showing an egg sac. I hope you enjoy these shots. Keep up the good work.

Hi Josh,
Thanks so much for sending in your photos of a Green Lynx Spider with its egg sac.  We actually have images buried in our archives of female Green Lynx Spiders guarding their eggs.
