Tiny, 3 mm in diameter at most (posed like this). Covered in a red fur.
Found at the wood covered edge of a riverbank living between tiny fern-like moss, very very moist conditions all year round, warm some times during summer.
Taking pictures of the moss, a minuscule moving red spot caught my eye; on closer inspection it looked and moved like a crab spider, but so small I couldn't make out the details. Took several pictures, only one came out with decent focus. Had to use the telephone's bulb to illuminate a little.

Really cool Crab-Spider
Thanks, I'll be looking for more of these next month, let's hope I can find one and take better pictures.
Very strange but it's eye arrangements suggest it is a Crab Spider.
