Hi. Sorry I can’t peg this but it is displaying a defensive stance, not a good time to poke a finger at it.
Found him at a construction sight. Had to stop co-workers from smashing the little guy. It walked like a crab it was cool.
It may be a crab spider, since you noticed that it walked like a crab. Good point Bugman, about spiders putting their legs up in that posture when they feel threatened. Were all of these photos really taken on one spiderific day? If the calendar function ever glitches on you (it happens), just put in a note of what the date should have been and it can be changed.
All these photos where taken the same day.
Crab Spider (Thomisidae) in the genus Xysticus.
