There are various genera that this might be in. Xysticus, Coriarachne, Bassaniana, and Ozyptila. There are various characters used to attempt to narrow it down to the genus in BG.

That's it. Must start learning the MPE I bought.
I got close to Mark in genera possibilities.I would add Philodromus to the list. BUT for the life of me I see only six eyes.The body and face suggest an active sight Hunter. Did you notice if there were paired spiracles on the first abdominal segments, either side of the epigynum? That's a clue.
Sometime back someone mentioned the hood for the MPE65. I looked, saw the price, and then I made one. See pictures and post later in general photo section.

Napabob, these are excellent images with a great command of light, focus and color along with fabulous detail. I really enjoy seeing your images and the way that you have mastered the MP-E65 lens.

Lovely portrait views which really show the Crab spider eye pattern well. The ID is too hard for me to find. Anything like that I call Philodromus and hope for the best as they are the most common crab spiders around here.
