Male Crab Spider (Thomisus sp.?)
Thank you for your remarks! Yes, you’re right about gender and family, but I do believe it’s from a different genus, one that is not found in America.
Oops, put this in the wrong spot…
Could be, although species of Thomisus are found pretty much globally. At least we know it’s a crab spider:).
Thomisus onustus perhaps – what do you think?

Th. onustus was the first species that came to my mind when I first found it. Because of the weird shape of the abdomen, you know. It was the color that puzzled me. So I did some research and it turned out that Th.onustus doesn’t come in that solid brown.
Glad I asked – thanks for the additional info!

Absolutely 🙂 Thanks again for sharing your ID thoughts!
