Thanks to your recent crab spider spottings, I started to read a bit about the genus Thomisus. And wow, they are amazing. Like the spider worlds counterpart to a chameleon! Difficult to ID when they can change colour :) This photo is really fantastic and it really inspires me to crawl a bit more in the bush to find more of them! Thanks Ivan!
