Origami Nest, Pt. 5 - _TNY_7074

This elongated spider is a Tibellus oblongus, where the genus Tibellus is known as slender crab spiders - a name quite fitting when you see them. They actually belong to the Philodromidae family, the running crab spiders.

 

This one had constructed a place to guard here eggs and offspring out of two leaves of a day lily.
