Crab Spider

Commonly found on flowers, foliage, bark, and leaf litter where they can blend into their surroundings.

Carnivorous; they are ambush predators that feed on insects like bees, flies, and butterflies.

They do not spin webs to catch prey. Instead, they sit and wait for prey to come within reach, often moving sideways or backwards like a crab.

Generally harmless to humans; they benefit the ecosystem by controlling insect populations in gardens and natural areas.
