Tibellus duttoni
Dutton's Slender Crab Spider
Tibellus duttoni is a running crab spider in the family Philodromidae, characterized by its elongated body form and grass-mimicking appearance. It hunts by ambush on vegetation rather than building webs to capture prey. The species occurs across much of North America, including the United States, Mexico, and southern Canada. Adults are relatively small, with females typically larger than males.
