Misumena vatia with prey - Misumena vatia

Wish we could see the face better

There does seem to be kind of a ridge there, but everything else says Misumena, the eyes, the carapace pattern, as well as the abdomen pattern. Plus it doesn't seem that Misumenoides is found that far northwest. Seems to us that Misumena is still the right choice for this one

I think this may be Misumenoides formocipes

- the white ridge across below the eyes differentiates this from Misumena. See guide.

I'm not an official volunteer. I agree that it is Misumenoides formosipes. There is a red band inder the eyes.
