I recently came across this lovely(?) crab spider on a birding excursion. The bird-dropping spiders of Phrynarachne are apparently not only visual but also olfactory mimics, for all intents and purposes attempting to fool both predators and prey. Apologies for the slightly subpar image quality; I didn’t have my macro lens and had to improvise.

    the picture quality is good

    Spoiler: I could destroy your view of this spider in a possibly bad way (spider looks funny to me)

    For me the spider looks like a sour pickle with buff arms
    You could imagine machamp (pokemon) arms on rick sanches pickle edition (rick & morty):::
