Crab spider, what species

Crab spider, what species
Auburn, Alabama, Alabama, USA
December 11, 2007
Another spider that lives in my bathroom, that I've only seen come out twice. But it scared me the first time I saw it, because I've never seen one like that before. I now know that it is a crab spider, but I have never seen an identification for the dark brown crab spiders, like this one. Does anyone know?

Not sure.
I imagine you have to see the eye arrangement and other microscopic details (sigh). Aside, visited your wonderful MySpace page, the one and only one I've ever bothered to look at! LOL! Have you heard of the Cheetah Conservation Fund? Good .org....Keep up the great work.

Thank you!
Well if I ever see it again, I'll try to get a better picture!
And thank you! I have heard of CCF and would absolutely love to get involved with that organization one day. Hopefully I'll be able to volunteer, soon as I FINALLY finish school.
Thanks so much!
