Does anybody know what kind of spider it is?

I donĂ¢€™t know about that one looks like it would glow under UV light like a scorpion. Nice shot!

maybe an albino black widow? is there such a thing?

Looks like a variety of crab spider. You see a lot of them on flowers.

EDIT: Did some looking and I believe it is a goldenrod spider which can be either white or yellow in color. It lives throughout the US and southern Canada.

Asked the same on here for this guy:



He's some sort of wolf spider, and male. Most spiders are very difficult to classify without close-up shots of the eyes and pedipalps (the sort of fang-like bits that hang down in front of the mouth, sometimes look like extra legs).

I believe this is Stoliczka's Crab Spider (Thomisus stoliczka). You can find some more info about it in here

My guess for this one would be on Hyllus diardi (more info) although I am not 100% sure it.

I'm quite sure that the one that I shot is from family Lycosidae, based on the 4/2/2 eye pattern. The jumpers are in Salticidae.

It is possible. I'm not arguing since you were the one who actually saw the spider :-)

I thought of this one mainly because of the size' although the photograph can be deceiving on that.
Doesn't really matter though. The photos are superb!

I just dug around on this one, and found out the specific species of the spider in my photos... it's an Arctosa littoralis, or "beach wolf spider."

His total leg span was probably 1.5 to 2 inches, body length was under an inch.
