Field Notes
Description:
Rationalisation for the name crab spider is generally subjective and anecdotal. It is commonly said to refer to a fancied resemblance to crabs, or to the way such spiders hold their two front pairs of legs, or their ability to scuttle sideways or backwards. Some spiders so called have bodies that are flattened and angular.
Habitat:
Seen at a forest in Goa which lies in a rainforest region with a tropical climate, warm and humid.
