Very nice photos and interesting story, Lou. Thank you for sharing.
That misdirection theory makes sense to me.
When I saw your title and photos the first time, I did say to myself "there is probably no evolutionary advantage for a spider to mimic a frog". But I did not post that thought, as I don't / didn't study frogs or amphibians that much.
