Field Notes
Description:
Crab spider is a common name applied loosely to many species of spiders, but most nearly consistently to members of the family Thomisidae. Among the Thomisidae it refers most often to the familiar species of "flower crab spiders", though not all members of the family are limited to ambush hunting in flowers. (information from Wikipedia)
Habitat:
Mixed prairie / woodland
Notes:
This little guy was sitting amongst the scant few flowers that are blooming in the area. I was actually following a clearwing moth and after it buzzed away, I noticed this crab spider.
