The photo is not so good, but this juvenile was so tiny and transparent, that I hardly managed to focus on it. Posted 11 years ago

  The photo is fine, but I it doesn't look like a crab spider to me. The abdomen is too hairy. Posted 11 years ago

Both spiders were together - weaving the same web - the male and this one - few cm from each other. I don't believe two different species to weave the same web. I don't know. Is it possible? Posted 11 years ago

  I don't know, maybe it was just passing by. It doesn't look the same at all. Posted 11 years ago

    After a closer inspection I think you are right. The abdomen is dark and the cephalotorax is light, just opposite to the Crab spider. The proportions of the legs are a bit different as well. I thought the visible transparency is due to the fact that it is still an undeveloped juvenile, but obviously this is not the case. I appreciate your help. Posted 11 years ago
