Lying in Wait

Duncan, BC

A Goldenrod Crab Spider (Misumena vatia) in my Mum's back garden. These spiders are able to change from white to bright yellow in a few days to match the flower where they are hiding. They do not spin webs but wait for prey to get too close to their powerful front legs.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM
1/2000s f/8.0 at 100.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
