What kind of spider is hanging in front of my house? Other Pet Discussions
I live in northern Houston, and in my front yard there's a huge spider web with a tiny yellow spider in the center. It looks distinctively like a crab, with a circular yellow body and with black triangular shapes on the sides (two on each side, and two on the top.) The yellow part also has black spots on it.I was thinking this might be a Texas crab spider, but the google image searches all bring back normal-looking spiders, not crab-looking spiders. If you see it up close, first impression is that it's a small, yellow crab.Any ideas?It isn't a babana spider, but thanks for the idea. I honestly have no idea what it is. I'm keeping my distance though.
