ID please...

I adopted 2 spiders for the winter. One I think is Phidipus audax but I have no idea what the other is. Any guesses?

some kind of crab spider maybe

let me look on bugguide.net

check out their Thomisidae (http://bugguide.net/node/view/1957/bgpage) section

oh yeah, where are these spiders from?

a lesser posibility...

Philodromidae (http://bugguide.net/node/view/1964/bgpage) - Running Crab Spiders

can you get a better pic of all the myster spider's eyes? that's a HUGE part of ID'ing spiders to Family

[liveprey]

They both were from s.w. Michigan.

Hallo,

the last spider is indeed a Thomisidae!
Before you posted the last pic i wasn't sure if it was Xysticus or Ozyptila, now i'm pretty confident that it is Ozyptila sp.!
