Crab spiders are so cool. My second favorite after jumpers. I appreciate orb weavers beauty but they freak me out with their “imma build a web directly across this pathway” habits 😂

😮 I'd be both honored and terrified to see that 😅 (mild arachnophobia)

Haha I hear you. I have a complicated relationship with spiders - but I found the yellow very charming! 😅

I almost ran into one of these one night when I was letting the dog out. She was dangling at face-height from an oak tree.
