Goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia)

Larose Forest

This spider was more successful at blending in with its surroundings than the white one that we saw. Goldenrod crab spiders spend most of their
time sitting patiently in various flowers, waiting for suitable insects to land. The spider will then grab the prey, insert its fangs, and feed.
