Waite Park,
Must be quite young, and hasn’t changed colors for its background.
I’m not 100% sure that’s what it is… but the others on the net look the same. He’s on very thin parcord.
Perhaps Misumena Vatia? Looks like some sort of flower crab spider to me in any case. Misumena of some kind IMHO.
Oh I just realized it was already named haha oops
Totally okay! Welcome! I feel better reading the comments here. I just was insulted by a rude volunteer on another ID site who said I have a terrible track record of identifing spiders. Sheeez, I’ve been doing this for years, I wish someone informed me that I suck at it earlier! ;(
Trolls love to attack to get some sort of argument going. It’s not you it’s the “volunteer”
Thanks 🙂 He’s generally rude and has some kind of power trip going on in his mind because he’s like an assistant page editor or something.
