Beautiful Running Crab Spider. Looks like this might be Philodromus floridensis. (I’ll make the page for it later.)

“Running Crab Spider” I can believe that. This little sucker is small yet very fast. The ring flash going off would cause it to sprint like a Track and Field athlete going for the gold metal.
