Comments & ID Thoughts
The body of the spider was no longer than 1 centimeter.
It looks similar to a crab spider but the exact name or genus, I have no idea.

Hi, this looks like a Running Crab Spider (Philodromus sp.). 🙂
Thanks! It also seems to play dead, am I seeing this wrong? I never knew spiders did that.
Yes, rather than bite a lot of spiders curl up and hold still when they’re scared.
