What an amazing-looking critter! What kind of spider is it and what is that pillow-like thing on its back?

It looks as if it's walking on air.
What a fascinating spider.

I think it is an unsegmented abdomen. I'll get back to you on what particular type of spider. Glad you're back.

There was a bit of a breeze and I almost didn't take this shot. Glad I did. Originally Posted by Donald

It is a fairly 'standard design' crab spider, Brian, with jointed abdomen to thorax. Looks similar to our Misumena vatia in shape although different colours. They are tricky to expose correctly so this has worked well.

Nice shot, Brian. It reminds me of The Phantom.
