Crab spider, female (Tmarus sp.)

Burnt Lands Provincial Park

A very small spider sitting on her carefully constructed egg case. She has folded a small willow leaf in half, and laid her eggs on the underside then sealed the edges. She was not going to leave those eggs for anything, protecting them against everything, including someone who just wanted a couple of photos.
