Crab Spider?
Hi. I have sure enjoyed your site. I would like this spider identified please. I found it on an immature strawberry North of Seattle, WA. She seems to be missing her top left leg (you can just barely see the stub). After she arrived, my strawberries no longer had pesky tiny tiny bugs on them. Thanks,
Betsy

Hi Betsy,
You are absolutely correct. Your Crab Spider is also known as a Flower Spider and it is great she is keeping your fruit pest free.
