Your welcome. I don't know about a firm grasp, more of a loose hold! I'm not sure if I would be much help there but your crab spotting appears identified to the species.

Thanks Dan! Looks like a spot-on ID! You sure are an active spotter! Seeing as you seem to have a firm grasps on Arthropoda, any chance you'd want to take a stab at the specific species of crab spider I've spotted?

Nice spotting andrew, I have yet to see one of these. Welcome to Noah.
