Any spider expert out there who could help me identify this hungry fellow?

Beautiful shot! Would probably need multiple angles to have a better chance at an ID:
- frontal view: eye arrangement is a great way to find the family of spiders
- top view: to see the patterns on the abdomen Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

    Welcome. Here's a nice visual guide regarding spider eye arrangement and how it maps to families:

Cool looking spider. And a super macro image of spider behaviour. It reminds me of the trapezoid crab spiders (Thomisidae) here in Australia, with their abdomens that look like cut blocks of butter! Posted 3 years ago

  Thank you so very much Ruth. I can see the similarities with the trapezoid crab spider ;-) Posted 3 years ago
