Heriaeus hirtus
I love these spiders, they are such aggressive feeders, seen one once with a bee in its mouth , the bee was twice its size easily, such cool little guys !

I don't have one of these crab spiders but I do have a common one and she is the opposite of aggressive feeding. She lazily tries to slowly catch them and seems more bothered about water than flies. I think that's because water doesn't run away from her 🤣

I found a commen one on my dining table last winter, I gave her a home and fruitflys as I thought it was too cold to put her outside (it was November) but she was only with us 1 month before she passed away. She was a spunky little thing though and would happily chase flys round her viv waiving her front arms like she was shaking a fist at them 😆
