Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this spider on my floor while I was sweeping. I have never seen a spider like this, so I took a pic and captured it until I can ascertain its identity and if it is dangerous or not. Anybody know what this one is?

This is a Crab Spider in the family Thomisidae, likely Xysticus sp.; all spiders in this family are harmless to humans.

Thanks, good name for it spider does look and act quite like a crab. He’s now free in the warmth of my furnace room.
