Spider crab is a small spider that merges with its environment (usually flowers) to capture its prey, small insects, butterflies, bees, etc.
They have two strong front legs for grasping their prey. Some of their kind dash sideways using their hind legs and some moves just like other spiders. If you look closely to their eyes, its like a shade or an eye glass worn. Those two eyes infront are huge and bright with distinct ridge below.
It is small and harmless to humans. The spiders do not bite, they have no sting for it. They have sorts of hooks, the chelicerae which instill a venom which serves to control their prey before digesting them.
The size of the hooks is proportional to that of the spider. The space between the two hooks and their strength is not sufficient to pierce the human skin.
