User's notes
Lynx spider courting and mating was observed. The male courtship routine included leg posturing and fang movements and slow movements back and forth to the female. A couple of times his leg extended out and the female would extend her leg out and they would briefly touch, only saw this twice. Then without warning the male pounced forward and they were together for a split second and then the male disappeared almost instantly. The female was then alone. The Plant they were on was a Diosma.
