Pherecydes tuberculatus

Part of the family of Crab spiders (Thomisidae), members of the Pherecydes genus are recognised by the two lateral eyes situated on a common elongated area that is widely truncated at the top. They are plant dwellers that do not spin a web and are found beneath vegetation and ground debris when not active. They are mainly active during the day and their gait is sideways or crablike, hence their common name.
