Smol Spider Hugs, Pt. 2 - _TNY_7936S2

I am pretty sure this little cutie is a crab spider known as Xysticus audax (no common English name).

 

The flower it is "guarding" looks like a wood anemone, but is actually a species known as the snowdrop anemone which is significantly larger - and thus creating the appearance of an extra small spider.

 

Since the little one stayed still, I managed two shots which have been stacked using Zerene Stacker for a little added depth of field.
