The ridge through the eyes

says Misumenoides formosipes and we'll move it there.

Thanks

I thought I had to look for the exact arrangement of the eyes, and my pic was by far not good enough for that.

Yes -

Thomisidae - not sure which genus... Maybe Lynette or J&J will know this one.

Are you guessing? :-) What is

Are you guessing? :-) What is the line? "Show me the money" -- did you find a similar specimen in Misumena here? (I'll admit that you are close -- the first seven letters are correct.)

Den Beweis dass ich keine Ahnung habe

wenn's um Spinnen geht? Gerne. Ich haette ja sonst wohl eine Portraitaufnahme gemacht, auf der man die Augen erkennen kann. Dieses Kerlchen ist nur so mit Kaefern und Wanzen im Sammelgefaess gelandet...Misumenoides nehme ich an.

Ja, sorry -- I didn't want to

Ja, sorry -- I didn't want to turn this into an ordeal or anything. What caught my eye (and said, 'Kevin, you've seen this') were the two very large, dark front leg pairs. But it does make a difference if one has already seen a species.

Here in Germany I spent (spend) a lot of time having the same experience: "How did you know that".

Schöne Grüße aus Berlin

(Tja, und mit Käfern und Wanzen kann ich gar nicht anfangen.)
