Mossy Crab Spider - top view, La Isla Escondida, Colombia On the only solo walk I did in La Isla Escondida, I happened to see a small black speckle move on a leaf as I passed by it. Really dark and at most 1cm in size. Even inspecting it up close I could not figure out what it was. Turns out it&#039;s a crab spider, with a spectacular mossy camouflage.<br />
