Another spider ID, please
I found this on our terrace yesterday in pursuit of some tiny ants.

Don't forget to give sizes please (excluding legs)

It looks like a Philodromus sp, a running crab spider, part of the Thomisidae family.
However that's not 100% confirmed.

Sorry!

It was about 5mm in length.

If it is Philodromus sp., it is aptly named as it is the fastest thing I've seen on seven legs!

Thanks.
