Ground crab spider (Xysticus sp. ), female

This dark spider on common milkweed, is a different type of crab spider from the more familiar goldenrod crab spider. While not as common, it is still a common spider at FWG and elsewhere, often found close to the ground, though there are exceptions, as here.

A monster in miniature; the angled perspective emphasizes the front pairs of legs so well.
