Hey @onenicebugperday I thought maybe if I posted the video and tagged you that may work! Anyway, here is the final friend from my most recent submission to your blog. This rolly was rather calm despite being sniffed by a curious snortle!

While this spider is weaving its net for casting, it’s thinking “hehehe ohohohohoho keekeekeee heehehehehehehehe”

This has been documented by top entomologists.

Seven-spined crab spider, Epicadus heterogaster, Thomisidae. Found in South and Central America.

Like all crab spiders, this species does not build webs, but rather actively hunts its prey. Its camouflage allows it to stay hidden among flowers and wait for the opportune moment to strike.
