Is this a type of Wolf Spider? I think of a crab when I see this. Even walk sideways sometimes.

This little guy would fit nicely on a dime, even smaller when he balls up.

Tesla:
This is actually a crab spider of some kind (family Thomisidae), and a male. Not sure if it is mature or not....Might be Xysticus texanus. The image in the "Checklist of Kansas Crab Spiders" (The Kansas School Naturalist, vol. 49, No. 1, May, 2003), seems to compare fairly closely.
