Giant Crab Spider - Olios giganteus - female

Giant Crab Spider - Olios giganteus - Female
Crow's Nest Campground, Jeff Davis County, Texas, USA
October 2, 2016
This is a beautiful female I found relaxing on the door of the men's bathroom late at night on October 1st. I kept her in a container overnight and posed her on a rock the next morning for a quick photo shoot.

In comparison to the lone male, me and the rest of the students collectively stumbled upon several females per night.

After seeing all the images of the species posted by other users from various locations, I was quite anxious to observe said species in person. Needless to say my fervent wish was granted!
