Goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia)

Larose Forest

The two spiders that we saw were both very shy, darting beneath the flower petal in this case or behind the leaf whenever we tried to photograph them.

They can be tricky, but still this is a good shot for showing how shy they can be (except the one that hitched a ride on Peter's knapsack!)
