Crab spider or maybe Huntsman Spider
Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, USA
June 1, 2009
Size: 70-80 mm
My lovely friend Katherine found this little (not really that little) guy in her sink! And she kept him to give to me, b/c she knows how much joy I get out of photographing spiders! When I let him go, he scurried off like a crab!
