Thanks for the link ctaklis- where did you find the spider you photographed (what habitat)?

StephanieCobbold Crab Spider

This is a crab spider (family Thomisidae). I would say it belongs to the genus Tmarus.

StephanieCobbold Funnel Web Spider
Funnel Web Spider commented on by StephanieCobbold Connecticut, USA13 years ago

This is a funnel-web spider (family Agelenidae). You can see the typically long spinnerets of this family in your pictures. Also the picture of the eyes shows the typical agalenid eye configuration in 3 rows: 2 eyes in the top row, 4 eyes in the middle row and 2 eyes in the bottom row!

Very nice find! This looks like a female Velvet spider (family Eresidae). I would love to see one sometime! Where did you find her?

They are solifugids (order: solifugae), whereas true spiders belong to the order Araneae.

Very nice find! Like spiders, Camel spiders are arachnids, but they belong to a different order, the solifugae (in other words they are not true spiders).

I would suggest Misumenoides formocipes. Females can be yellow to white in color and the dorsum of the abdomen has paired markings that are reddish to black. The legs also have reddish bands.
