I concur, it does look like O. salticus. The marks on the abdomen look the same to me. The marks on the cephalotorace don’t seem to match, though. But then again, this might be due to its age. It looks like a juvenile, doesn’t it? We don’t know its body length though, so it’s hard to tell whether it’s a mature specimen or not. But the big question is: is India in its range? I’m trying to find it out ๐
Yes, India is the big variable, and I sonโt know asian spiders so well. AND I agree: the abdomen looks like O. salticus, but the thorax isnโt the same. Hmmmm.
..hmmm..I agree with you again, this is a very intriguing spider ๐ Unfortunately I got stuck, but I’m not giving in! Why would I when I’m just inches from to the goal?

This is a Lynx Spider, most likely in the genus Oxyopes.
Oxyopes salticus, possibly!

I have only 296 different species of Oxyopes to go through, no big deal, really…
On second thoughts, I think I could use a little help ๐
Lol!
