ID please...

I adopted 2 spiders for the winter. One I think is Phidipus audax but I have no idea what the other is. Any guesses?

some kind of crab spider maybe

let me look on bugguide.net

check out their Thomisidae section

oh yeah, where are these spiders from?

a lesser posibility...

Philodromidae - Running Crab Spiders

can you get a better pic of all the myster spider's eyes? that's a HUGE part of ID'ing spiders to Family

They both were from s.w. Michigan.

Here's the best I can do for the eyes...

Hallo,

the last spider is indeed a Thomisidae!
Before you posted the last pic i wasn't sure if it was Xysticus or Ozyptila, now i'm pretty confident that it is Ozyptila sp.!
