Enjoying his time

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Crab spider male, on a Female crab spider

A beautiful encounter that we all experienced during the recent trail, there seemed to be this pair of crab spiders on a bush, while the female seemed busy and readily perched for a morning catch, the tiny male seemed to be exploring the abdomen, probably for the mating, but kept on moving around it and for this particular moment, raised it frontal limb, almost resembling to be waving for the frame.

The raised limb looks nice. Wish you had some more space at the bottom to include more of the female. The male is so small as compared to the female . Thanks for sharing.
