This immature male had just caught a small flying beetle. I don't know what kind of flower this is that we have, but there were many generations of flower crab spiders living on them. Now that the weather is bad (and we just had a wind storm) there are practically no flowers left. I saw a lot of the spiders ballooning away two days before the storm. It's like they 'knew'!?

I tried to use John and Jane Balaban's article on the eyes of Misumena, Misumenoids, and Misumenops. But since I couldn't even decide if the ALE on my spider were bigger than the AME, I didn't get very far. Ha. I do know that I can only see the six eyes (PLE are hidden behind 'brow')...so does that rule out Misumena?
