Hello Everyone..

When we go to the forest and look for insect species that are there, I am sure we will be surprised by some interesting, unique and rare species discoveries. Like some time ago when I was looking for an insect photo object in the forest, I got a spider species that is unique in my opinion because I have never encountered this spider species before. In fact, this is the first time I got it.

As for the spider I mean Thomisus, Thomisus is a genus of crab spiders family Thomisidae.

Thomisus is a genus of crab spiders (family Thomisidae) with around 150 species described. The genus includes species that vary widely in their ecology, with some that ambush predators that feed on insects visiting flowers. Like several other genera in the family Thomisidae, they are sometimes referred to as flower crab spiders, from their crab-like motion and their way of holding their front legs, reminiscent of a crab spreading its claws as a threat.Wikipedia

And below I have uploaded the photo, I hope you will be interested and like it.
