Field Notes

Description:

I have this lovely crab spider living in my backyard. Recently I found out that there is a singular thomisus spider species in South America, in the Perú and Ecuador amazon. I live in Quito. This specimen looks very similar to the thomisus guadahyrensis.

Hola José. This looks like mine that you commented on. In the link given in the suggestion box you can see that this is the only species that could be found in Ecuador. Nice shot and welcome to Project Noah. Hope to see more fron the Andes Mountains.
