Eye pattern and hairy body once again
points to Misumenops - Nice images! Can only hope we'll get a Misumenops expert who can separate these into species for us sometime.

Thanks several times over!
These are my second favorite spiders to photograph. (Jumpers are first, but they're tougher.) Once I went with extension tubes and a teleconverter, I can get consistently good images on crab spiders. Working distance is very important!
