The Green Lynx Spider is a familiar species that is found on all sorts of shrub-like plants in the subcontinent. The photographer found this lynx spider near a massive web of a Giant Wood Spider and made a double-exposure image, utilising the spider web and the soft backlighting of the evening sun for dramatic effect.
