Nice shot Fabio, your spideris very good. It's not a crab spider at all. It's a jumping spider of the Salticidae family. The distintive colouring makes Spider ID relatively easy for a change! This one is a male Philaeus chrysops. There is another form without the white stripes on the carapace. The female is a drab affair compared to Mr Colourful here.


Good photo with nice details, I would like to see the face too! Thanks for sharing.
