I share pictures of different types of insects or flowers at different times and I like to see these pictures very much. But today I am sharing a small and very strong animal that I find very interesting to see and I personally like it very much. The name of this beautiful animal is Striped lynx spider. It is an animal of the natural environment and a contribution of nature. Because I like it, I enjoyed its beauty and took some pictures with my own mobile and the pictures are presented above for all friends to observe.

A few days ago, when I was coming to my own house after my work school holiday, I saw some weeds on the side of the road and there this creature was sitting very beautifully on the underside of a tree leaf. I observed it closely and saw that it was not very bright because it was on the underside of the leaf and it seemed a little blurry. Moreover, since this creature was on the underside of the leaf, I had to bend down and take pictures with great difficulty and the pictures look a little dark because there was no sunlight on the picture. I saw that it has eight legs in its body and it moves from one place to different places with these legs. While eating, it first kills any insect by hitting it with its legs and then takes the dead insect as food.
