Misumessus Oblongus??? That is so silly oh my gosh I love this lil creature

A while back I found (allegedly) one of these guys in my bathroom with Seek. I’m not sure the species it gave was correct since the one I saw was almost white. But it definitely had that stance!

Yeah, they can change colors via molting to match local flowers so it’s possible it’s this species or a similar one. (I’ve been waiting for someone to tell me the spider isn’t green. Bad common name choice.)

Ooh that’s cool! It must have been hanging out in my bathroom a while, because it blended in with the off white landlord paint very well 😆

I’ve seen a white one that looked very much like this, years ago, perched on a white Queen Anne’s Lace flower:-)

Big hug.

I want your crab spiders who model so nicely while the ones in my area actively hide.

I didn’t have any in my garden this summer

This one in particular was taken in the morning so it might’ve been still warming up.
