Hi! I wanted to make sure my identification was correct!
I believe this a Ground Crab Spider? I'm in Southern Ohio (I don't wanna doxx myself by giving the specific place lol)
Spider ID - OH, USA:
Yes, I agree that this is one of the ground crab spiders, Xysticus sp., family Thomisidae.
A possibility for So OH is Mournful Ground Crab Spider, Xysticus funestus, but it can be hard to tell the species within this genus apart.
@dandelionfaggot submitted: a friend and i saw this small spider last week and i took pictures to put on inaturalist but i haven't done that yet. i live in southeastern washington. i would enjoy knowing what kind of little guy we saw
Very small....very friendly. It's a ground crab spider in the genus Xysticus :)
permanently offended creatures by nature and possessing one of the stupidest looking eye arrangements of any spider family, crab spiders like this Xysticus can look extra ridiculous when they have markings above their anterior lateral eyes that look like furious eyebrows. this guy would be frothing at the fucking mouth if he had any froth to produce

Ground Crab Spider (Genus Xysticus)
Harms Woods - Glenview, IL - May 6th 2024
Do you have any idea who this unbelievably cool man is? If you do you can help identify him on INaturalist here
Spiders of this Genus do not build webs and instead are ambush hunters.
#3451 - Australomisidia sp.
A genus of Crab Spider erected in 2012 by Polish arachnologist Paweł Szymkowiak, taking species previously assigned to Diaea and Xysticus, and one he described himself - Australomisidia kangarooblaszaki.
Szymkowiak has worked on other Australian crab spiders too - another of his genera is Boomerangia, but that was renamed Boomerangiana because that name was already in use for a family of nematode.
The eight species are all endemic to Australia.

I love the 1970s earth tone color scheme this spider has going on. Very cool eyes too <3 Ground crab spider (genus Xysticus) Northeastern Pennsylvania, US
xysticus californicus male on a sweater I picked up, he’s missing some legs and is stunning as all hell
