This is a tiny Crab Spider on a twig, i found him/her under a bush at the end of last year! C&C welcome.

That is a great capture of a thomisidae. They are also called flower spiders since they like to lie in wait there and leap on their prey. The four long front legs grasp while the spider injects its venom. Then it goes along for the ride before feeding.

Good one David...and Saorsa, nice info. It is great to know they have histories too.
