spider ID!
We need a baby spider guide! Are juvenile spiders similar in body patterns to adults or do they have unique juvenile colorations?
Just curious!
While I understand coloration is not a good guide to taxonomic ID the flatness of the abdomen and longer legs and color patterns are reminiscent of a crab spider like Misumenoides formosipes. Just hard to get a clearer pic for something this tiny with my camera,
thanks

Baby spiders
Baby spiders are hard. They're all kind of shaped the same and mostly the same color, which are the two main things used to ID from pictures.

Some kind of crab spider seems reasonable. Someone else may have a better idea.
