- Caption / Description:
-
Xysticus cristatus is the most commonly found crab spider in the UK, usually found on the ground or in low vegetation. Like other crab spiders, Xysticus cristatus does not build a web, but rather lies in wait for its prey, which it then ambushes.
The females of Xysticus cristatus occur in a wide variety of brown shades, with the males being slightly darker. The sides of the abdomen are wrinkled, while the top has a pattern of overlapping triangles on a darker background.
