Nice kiddie toy.
Lol. At first I thought I found a real life Pokemon here. Surprised I can’t find anything like it anywhere.
Edited. I thought it was fake too. When you said it was real I remembered what it is. Here’s a video that shows one moving to prove that it isn’t a toy! https://youtu.be/sS4APBrItAw?si=Vg4_rcKzwSGGKzcC
It’s an Eight-spotted Crab Spider in genus Platythomisus. We get plenty of photos of fake spiders, that’s why we’re so skeptical. I’m glad you got to see such a cool spider!
