Puppy Blues! This Crab Spider from the genus Platythomisus looks a bit similar to Platythomisus octomaculatus, but it has less spots on the abdomen and the legs is more segmented.  The spots on the abdomen looks like a puppy face.<br />

According to Spiderman @ChunXingWong, this is still a yet to be described species, which he would love to see one personally :D<br />

      I think for Chun's location, more likely for him to find Platythomisus octomaculatus.
