I agree, I think the smaller one might be a male. Great series!

Thanks drP, alicelongmartin & Forest Dragon for comments nothing much can observed as small spider hides as notice my camera moments,

Nice series. It's possible the smaller spider is a male looking for some love.

Cool! Do you know if crab spiders protect their young? Eat them? Ignore them?
