What kind of spider is this?

Probably more likely an Arachnologist.

I learned something new today. I never knew there was a specific term for someone who studies spiders. I figured it was just a specialized entomologist. Thanks.

Yes it's a crab spider, completely harmless.

I will pick up crab spiders or jumping spiders and take them outside to my pepper plants. Make them earn their living.

I always like how they lumber sideways so carefully

Agree on the crab spider.

Does crab spider eat crab lice? Maybe it is looking for food - must be a reason for it to show up at your house!
