This female crab spider was identified to genus with the help of volunteer experts at BugGuide. They can’t be identified to species solely based on such images, using the current understanding of this field of study. This spider was photographed at the Visitors Center at Fontenelle Forest in September.

 

The abundance of this genus in our two nature centers is not yet known.
