Crab spider

This juvenile crab spider (less than 5mm in length) managed to balloon onto my trouser leg. With every gust of wind it raised its abdomen, as if contemplating a launch. Eventually, it released a strand of silk to the front and proceeded to climb along it, in the direction of my other trouser leg. (It doesn’t take much to keep me entertained!)

 

In the garden, North Bournemouth, UK.

 

Best viewed large. Thanks for looking.
