Your letter to the bugman: Hi, I occasionally have these cute bugs around my property and am wondering what they are.
How you want your letter signed: Thanks, Kim
Hi Kim,
We turned to the Natural History of Orange County site to view Spider thumbnails and we thought your individual resembled the Running Crab Spider in the genus Tibellus that was pictured there, but alas, we were basing that on a single image. We then searched the genus on BugGuide and we believe you have a Slender Crab Spider, Tibellus chamberlini.
