Why not skull crab spider here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.30.54.158 (talk) 17:22, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

I actually have a picture of a crab spider ON a web. Who wrote that they don't make webs? This needs to be changed. Ozsvensk GMT 22:36 2 November 2008 GMT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.209.135.80 (talk) 21:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

There is a link in this article (Fiducia Petrunkevitch, 1942 † (fossil)) which leads to a wrong destination: 380 Fiducia. Fiducia gives the same result as 380 Fiducia. Maja 4 aug. 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maja46 (talk • contribs) 16:57, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Comments
This subject seems to have attracted some questionable attention. As far as the "web" comment is concerned, we cannot take it seriously as long as no picture has been presented. For one thing, there are plenty of orb weavers that are not crab spiders, but look superficially rather like some spp. The correspondent offers no evidence that the picture that he did not display, really showed a crab spider. Secondly, It might well have been a crab spider, on a web, even its own web, but that the web was not a hunting web, but one spun for reasons connected with reproduction or protection. The claim in this context remains anecdotal. No picture, no comment! JonRichfield (talk) 20:12, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Partly redundant article
This article certainly deserves to exist because it contains more information than belongs in any redirection article. However, most of the material within it really belongs in the Thomisidae article. If no one raises any objection and I find myself with enough time on my hands  and no one beats me to it, I think I will strip it of out-of-place material which I will fit into the Thomisidae article and add a few links.
