Not sure what to hashtag with this question, but is there anyone out there who knows anything about #spiders / #arachnids #arachnology? This guy has been in my yard for a couple of days and I was curious what it is, and if my dog and I should keep our distance.

Crab spider my mum found. It's a Misumenia vatia, I think. #spiders #arachnids
Just started Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky and I am now a firm believer that more books should have chapters dedicated to a jumping spider’s perspective. #books #bookstodon #spiders #arachnids @bookstodon

Was out tidying around the HVAC unit today and came upon a new-to-me teeny critter!
Luckily I had my camera handy, so discovered this quick little spidey, which I think is a male Pike Slender Jumper (Marpissa pikei)? I've never seen a jumping spider like this one. How wonderful!
Please zoom in to see the wee fella. He didn't let me get a second shot.
