Unidentified crab spider video. Help!

[GiantVinegaroon]

Found this cool looking crab spider while flipping rocks. Any idea what genus it is? If you can get it down to species it would be even better! This is my first of many arachnid-related videos to come. Please enjoy!

TCrab spiders are so neat we have ALOT here during summer ! First time ever seeing them was last year and i housed 3 communally, i dunno if this is just normal but every time they ate something it turned black was that just the bug rotting?

The bug they ate turned black? I assume rotting. If the spiders were turning black, idk what to tell you...
