The Crab Spider is so called because of it closely resembles a Crab. They are found in the UK among other countries. The Crab Spider is a member of the group Thomisidae and, as with all members of this group, are not known to be harmful to humans. This type of spider is not shy about bring down prey that is much larger than itself and thrives on butterflies and bees.
However, the Sicarius grouping of Spiders, however, closely resemble Crabs and are sometimes incorrectly identified as "crab spiders". These Sicarius species are not related to the real Crab spiders (of the Thornisidae family) and are actually close cousins of the Recluse Spiders, and are highly Venomous.
It is therefore important to identify the Spiders correctly so you can be sure of what you are dealing with.
