The giant with the pearls

[Prajwal J Ullal]

Id: Lynx spider, specific id help appreciated

Came across this humongous beauty perched underneath the lead of a flowering plant. The beauty had strategically positioned itself to catch any incoming prey, with ease. The sheer size of it and the ease with which it moved around was really astonishing. Luckily though it was cooperative enough to stay steady for the framing.

Nice close-up. Liked the water droplets and the fine hair(?). Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a Hamadruas sp., but not sure. A full body view would be best.
