Green Crab Spider

Description:

A tiny Thomisidae, Crab Spider with yellow head, green abdomen, and yellowish green legs. Male. About 5mm from forehead to the tip of its tail.

Habitat:

Sabah Tea Gaden, Ranau, Sabah, Malaysia.

Notes:

While searching for new species of spiders in Sabah Tea Garden, this little guy crawl up to me to my hand when I walked past the tea plantation. I was excited because I have never seen this species before (even in the Internet). If this is a new species, I'll name its common name "Green Tea Crab Spider". 2nd photo taken from my dad. >>>Map accuracy : 100m diameter.
