Goldenrod Crab Spider - Misumenops celer
Copyright © 2007 Sam Houston

Goldenrod Crab Spider - Misumenops celer
Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA
October 9, 2007
Size: 3/16"
Goldenrod Crab Spider - Misumena vatia. Same as this one http://bugguide.net/node/view/149609....might even be the same critter. I found it in the same area as the other post. Just thought this was a little clearer view of the head.

As with the other image
we would suggest instead Misumenops, not Misumena. Different eye arrangement and hairy body point to Misumenops. Unfortunately the species ahve not been separated out among the BugGuide images. Nice closeup!
