Found this guy between my jacket and blanket, then found another in my sink, may have fallen out/off my jacket
Hi, this is a Crab Spider (Thomisidae). Given the amount of detail I’m uncertain if it’s a Ground Crab Spider (Xysticus) or Bark Crab Spider species (Bassaniana, my first impression).

It did crawl sideways, I found it in my jacket that was laying on my bed.
Do they bite?
Only in self defense, for example if trapped against the skin. They’re not considered to be of medical significance.
