I have been seeing these all over my garden this year. I usually see Green Lynx (Peucetia viridans) spiders everywhere. I have only seen 3 this year. Is anyone else noticed a shortage of Lynx spiders or know if Argiope preys on them?

X: I haven't noticed a shortage of lynx spiders necessarily, but we've had a bumper crop of argiope and the little crab/orb-weavers. I'd say triple the number we usually have.
