Other
"A member of the genus Tibellus (either of the two extremely slim species duttoni or chamberlini) in the Family Philodromidae (some used to include this as a subfamily in the Family Thomisidae). Normally these are stretched out on a blade of grass and thus hard to see, but this one is a male (males are even slimmer than females) who wandered out of his natural habitat while searching for a female." Jerome Rovner
