Thomisus spectabilis
The White Crab Spider has almost translucent head and legs. Body is white with a few small black spots at the outer corners. The spider will retreat if approached. The stout legs and shape of body give it a crab appearance. The third image shows it with a katydid as its prey.
Hunts among foliage and flowers, capturing its prey with powerful front legs.
