Field Notes

Habitat:

Canal/deciduous habitat.

Notes:

This is definitely in the genus Xysticus, but have not been able to narrow it down to species. Most of the examples that I have seen have some markings on the back of the cephalothorax, but this is completely black.

Thanks Tyler! I would say he was around 7 or 8mm. Not very big at all.
Do you happen to remember the size of this crab spider? I love it.
