[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This crab spider was found sitting on an 'umbrella' of Artedia squamata (Apiaceae, carrot family). Perhaps this spider belong to a species of Synaema globosum (Fabricius, 1775). In some books a generic name can be spelled as Synema.

S. globosum is mainly found in the Mediterranean area (e.g., this specimen has been shooted near Ariel, Samaria). The background color in this species can be quite variable, from off-white to dark orange.

Hello Ilya!
According to the picture I have to say that I never seen such spider species, especially crab sprider. Its combination of red-black colours are really interesting. Good DOF, POV and composition.
Have a nice day and best greetings from Poland,
