A crab spider of the most exotic ones I found in my backyard today. About 20-25 mm, very peaceful, with very slow movements.
Brazil's interior, state of Minas Gerais, rural area.
Sorry the 1 mm dof!

Awesome !!!
Lovely spotting, very different than the ones I have seen, Leonardo Castro.
Muito obrigado, Sergio! Na verdade, Tobias sp. foi a mais próxima que eu consegui encontrar, mas ainda assim visualmente um pouco distante deste exemplar. Difícil... :)

RiekoS, thank you! I have more shots of it, but are worse than this (compact camera). I'll see if I can get better ones.
António, thank you so much! ;)
lowellmtyler, obrigado! O tamanho dela era mais ou menos 20-25 mm de uma extremidade à outra. Vou incluir esta informação na descrição.
Parabéns, Leonardo. É realmente surpreendente. O tamanho dela era qual?
Great spotting! You have some amazing spottings here at Project Noah.
Great capture Leonardo,congrats on the SOTD and thanks for sharing
Congratulations! I wish I can see more pictures of this (I can not tell how it looks overall).
João, thanks so much for the tip, amigo. I've tried to find something similar in Tobias, but I still could not find anything similar. I'll keep trying...
KarenL, thank you! I really appreciate it! ;)

Congrats Leonardo, your awesome spider is Spotting of the day!
Though it looks like dried plant material, this is actually a well-disguised crab spider!

Try Tobias species
Thank you, Saumya. In my search on the Internet I still could not find a similar species. I've also never seen one just like it. For me it is also the strangest so far without a doubt!
Leuba, I had not noticed that! Who knows it's a new species? In that case, you have just found a popular name for it! "Royal Crab Spider" ;)
WOw awesome ! I would have mistaken it for some sort of a seed ! :D Coolest crab spider i have seen !!!!
