Green Lynx Spider

Spiders are not insects but are closely related. The green lynx spider is common in home gardens and can be found on plants that are visited by insects. They pounce on their prey which come to feed on plant nectar.

Control: As a general rule, spiders are beneficial because they eat many types of insects and seldom threaten people. Only venomous spiders such as the black widow and brown recluse spider warrant control.
