臺灣綠貓蛛捕食椿象，一隻小螞蟻來搶食。臺灣綠貓蛛，為貓蛛科貓蛛屬的蜘蛛，體長約0.7-2.1公分，是徘徊性蜘蛛，不結網，喜待在開花植物葉面或葉背，伺機捕捉前來吸食花蜜或停歇的昆蟲。綠貓蛛是非常美的蜘蛛，臺灣中南部平地至低海拔山區最為常見，每年7-8月間到臺中大坑山區，幾乎都會看見牠們。臺中大坑一號步道拍攝昆蟲時，看見綠貓蛛正在捕食椿象，下方還有一隻小螞蟻也來搶食，真是難得的生態畫面。

A green lynx spider preys on a stink bug, which an ant is fighting over. This wandering spider belongs to the genus Peucetia and family Oxyopidae. It is 0.7-2.1 cm long and does not build a web. Instead, it hides among the leaves of flowering plants to prey on insects. This is a beautiful spider, which is most common in the plains and lowlands of central and southern Taiwan. In July and August, it can be seen in Dakeng, Taichung City. As I was on the No. 1 hiking trail in Dakeng, I saw this spider preying on a stink bug. Below it, an ant was trying to wrestle it away. This is a rare image.
