Yellow Crab Spider

Found in gardens, meadows, and woodlands, specifically on white or yellow flowers like daisies and goldenrods.

Carnivorous; primarily hunts pollinating insects such as bees, butterflies, and flies by ambush.

Known for active camouflage; they can change their body color between white and yellow over several days to match the flower they are sitting on. They do not spin webs but wait for prey to land.

Harmless to humans; their bite is not medically significant. Beneficially controls insect populations in gardens, though they occasionally prey on beneficial pollinators like honeybees.
