I think the potential meal at hand is too big for it to handle. Nice shot.

Great find and capture! Flower crab spiders often take on prey much larger than themselves but this one is already missing a leg so might be a bit wary.
Thanks for sharing.
Best.

Yep. Seems they'll munch on just about any insect they want to. Posted this one awhile back.
