    Crab Spider? - Tulsa, Oklahoma

    Found this spider at 9 am just hanging out on the fridge door. Usually think nothing of the common house spiders around here, but I had never seen one like this. What do you all think?Click image for larger version.

    Jeffrey:

    Yes, it is definitely a crab spider (family Thomisidae), female (males are much more slender in body), and probably in the genus Xysticus (ground and bark crab spiders). Nice images, good call on the ID!
