Giant crab spiders are dangerous ambush predators that live in dense forest vegetation. Though crab spiders are not web spinners, they are truly gifted climbers and use this talent to clamber up into places where they can observe wide areas from on high.
Named for their curious scuttling walk and wide-legged stance, giant crab spiders are rarely larger than a typical adult half ling.
