Crab Spider

Mecaphesa sp.

Description:

I'm not sure of an exact ID, and the image isn't the best quality for zooming in, but it looks like it appears to have 2 eyes on top and 4 on the bottom - all about the same size. The spider was yellow with some markings, and it was very hairy.

Habitat:

Habitat: Spotted on a dead flower head with a cast skin. I'm not sure if it molted recently, or if the skin belonged to a different crab spider.
