I have never seen a spider like that not even in books.
Did you find it or where is the pic from?
The start of it all.....

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

I would love to know why you say its a Thomisus. Thats nothing close to a crab spider and im willing to bet my collection on it.
My guess would be a spider from the family Araneidae (orb weavers). It looks like a juvie, so would be impossible to be more precise without seeing the actual spider.

I don't know of any Araneidae pink ones that's why i suspect thomisus. To me it looks nothing like a Araneidae lol. But the pic is sucky and as you said without the actual spider its all guesses ;]

No offence, but Ive been collecting spiders for 17 years and never seen a crab spider with legs, abdomen or carapace like that. Totally wrong shape. Very hard to id spiders by colour alone. :)
