Goldenrod Crab Spider - Misumena vatia - male

Goldenrod Crab Spider - Misumena vatia - Male
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
April 1, 2007
Size: body 5mm
I found this little (guy?) on one of my violas that I'm about to plant. It looks like the female White-banded, but there look to be some "boxing" gloves. The angle isn't really that great, though.

Moved
Moved from Whitebanded Crab Spider.

Moved because on reviewing the Misumenus, Misumenops, & Misumenoides key, I'm not so sure it the White-banded. I'll have to see if I can find it again and get better "face" shots.
