Flower Crab Spider

Fields, meadows, gardens, and flowering plants where they can camouflage.

Carnivorous; hunts pollinators like bees, flies, butterflies, and moths by ambushing them on flowers.

Ambush predator that does not spin webs to catch prey. Known for the ability to slowly change color (white to yellow) over several days to match the flower they are sitting on.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling insect populations. Generally harmless to humans; they have venom to paralyze prey, but their bite is not medically significant to people.
