Comments & ID Thoughts

Funky lopsided little guy, a bit bigger than a quarter. Reddish brown. Best guesses on family/genus: Thomisidae, Philodromidae (Ebo), or a small Sparassidae Olio. Found on living room wall, didn’t remove him because it’s cold out tonight

My guess would be a little crab in the Thomisidae family…Leg 2 is too short to be in the genus Ebo….and the relatively short legs 3 and 4 are more Thomisid than Philodromid…..check out the body plan of this little Thomisid spider for comparison…(i doubt it is this exact species…just a relative)…the details are not very clear on your spider….so the above is just a hunch.
