Notes:

This is by the far, the smallest crab spider I have ever seen. It was approx. 3mm and at first I thought it was a tiny tick, but then I saw the trademark crab spider pose. I couldn't even tell what color it was without looking through the lens.

Thanks bg11a1! He was quite small, but made up for it in color!
