    This tiny creature was giving me a hand with the weeding at the allotment. I had the camera (obviously) but no macro stuff with me, so the image is heavy cropped

    Have you got a picture where the body is less blown Ian? The markings are difficult to see.

    It was similar in shape to the link you posted Beryl but was more of a tan colour

    Certainly looks like a female Crab Spider.

    They can change colour by the way.

    Thank you both for your prompt help. Is the spider very common, I have never seen one before......or perhaps I just wasnt looking.

    Yep You are right there Rolf

    Crab spiders are no active hunters. They make more use of the camouflage techniques than other spiders

    They are common in the South, but not the North.
