Description

Interesting colours.

[edit] I've since been corrected, this is not a crab spider. It's a Triangular Spider, Arkys lancearius.

I wouldn't blame anyone for calling this bizarre beast a crab spider. Just look at those big, red claws! And that conical abdomen's a dead ringer for a hermit crab's shell. Great hunting scene for this unusual-looking beauty!
