Xysticus punctatus
Orb weaver spider found on my arm while working. Lost two of its its right front legs, not sure if I'm responsible.
Oak Savanna Restoration Site (Deciduous forest)
Notice how the eyes are raised up on white tubercules, that's a good indication of a crab spider. Also the way the legs are positioned on the body are much different than an orb weaver
Oh really? Are you saying that because of the eye pattern? Or is there somethig else that gives it away? I just made an assumption because the abdomen looks like other orbweavers I have found.
