Crab Spiders

Crab spiders do not spin webs but wait in ambush on vegetation, especially flowers, for bees, butterflies, flies, and other pollinators to venture close. The Goldenrod Crab Spider is known for its ability to change colour from yellow to white in order to match the flowers on which it rests.
