Female Goldenrod Crab spider (Misumena vatia)

Amazing how these spiders can blend in with the flowers they sit on. On yarrow they are white, with a pink band. They are very successful hunters, sitting in wait for an unsuspecting insect to land on the blossom and then, with a quick dart, they have caught their prey.
