I saw this spider yesterday on an Arum Lily [Zantedeschia aethiopica] growing outside at a botanical garden in central Cairo. I would judge it was less than a centimetre in width.

Thanks

It's a lovely spider. Looks like one of the crab spiders but probably someone more experienced can be more specific. I love the way the rump appears to be looking at you. Predators couldn't tell which end they were looking at.
