Unknown Crab Spider from California - Misumena vatia - Huckleberry Botanic Preserve, Alameda County, California, USA June 26, 2010
Found this crab spider running around some web lines criss-crossing a huckleberry bush. I'm guessing it's Misumenoides formosipes or Misumena vatia, but it seems like it has the eye ridge of M. formosipes but not the white line at the anterior edge of the carapace. Anyone want to take a stab at it?
