Quite the odd and unique color palette on this spider!

Been a while since I’ve seen one of these! Male running crab spider, family Philodromidae.

Cool guy that I found at the library at my university. It's been scurrying around the table for the past little bit. I don't think I've ever seen this one before?

Located in Alberta! :)

Spider ID - ALB, Canada:

Hello, yess, this looks to me like one of the Running Crab Spiders (Philodromus sp. or Apollophanes sp.), family Philodromidae.

Any spider people have a suggestion for which species it might be?

TEENY spider in NJ, looks like it has a very fine fuzzy coating, can you ID? When spooked it jumped down from an attached webbing point on the car.

Ohhh.....lil. They're a running crab spider :)

so my car is full of bugs which is fine except theyre all biting me while i drive which is fine except im like mildly mildly allergic so even little bug bites from the most harmless bigs will get sooo big and red and itchy which is fine except theyre also biting my girlfriend who has sensitive skin from eczema and stuff and also the bugs r very very small so theyre hard to see and idk what they even are. i actually think theyre very little spiders. but i have no idea

Hi I was wondering if you could help me identify this spider I found on my patio. I live in Southern California.

I love your blog. It’s wonderful.

OH lord, another hard to ID spider...

I'm pretty sure that this is a Running Crab Spider, family Philodromidae.

I think this is Apollophanes margareta.

Does anyone else have input on this? @onenicebugperday

@podcast-prophetess submitted: Sharing this house spider (?) I found in my kitchen (in Western Maryland usa) with weird asymmetrical legs! Maybe it messed up a molt or something? Love those stripeys on one side and little ghost legs on the other! I released it outside, hopefully it survived long enough to get better legs lol

I bet those ones work just fine! Often when a spider has legs that are smaller than the rest, it’s because they lost the legs and re-grew them with their last molt. It’s also possible it had a strange molt, as you said.

"the world with catgirls does not know what cats are" is the most haunting piece of arknights lore i've learned yet

the animal kingdom is in some real fucking state in arknights they do have animals but they're called fowlbeasts instead of birds finbeasts instead of fish burdenbeasts instead of cattle etc etc as well as tons of fucked up mutated bugs like originum slugs and metal crabs and gloompincers and exploding spiders, and as established they treat 'kitties' as some weird lifeform nobody on the extensive highly educated rhodes island staff has seen before but there's a cat right there on this login screen and has been since game launch, unidentified fucking thing blow it up NOW

and sometimes there's characters that are just actual talking animals instead of anthro or kemonomimi and they're some kind of immortal ancient gods and they do shit like assist the royal line of victoria for centuries (siege's lions) or fight elaborate proxy wars with each other (the signori dei lupi in il siracusano) or fuck around in the jungle piloting giant robots built by reptile girls (high priest in great chief returns) or start a rap career and a logistics company (emperor from penguin logistics) or become successful businessmen that somehow always hang around in non euclidean hell spaces and develop long running personal beef with the doctor of rhodes island (duck lord)
