Unidentified crab spider

[William Dawson]

Hi, I just found a crab spider in the central New York area, and can’t make an accurate identification. Does anyone know what species this is? I believe it’s a male.

Yeah, it's a Crab spider, a male Xysticus species, like most spiders, close examination of the genitalia are needed to determine the exact species.
