Thanks Philip for the feedback. Yes, the patterns are visible, but I think this spider was deserved a more clear shot.

Great photo! I've never seen such a white spider in person. I have seen giant crab spiders before, but they don't look nearly as cool as the white one you found. It’s crazy how they blend in so well.
