Goldenrod Crab spider (Misumena vatia), male

Photographed in the Sandhills area of Dunrobin. This tiny little spider looks nothing like the larger yellow (or white) female crab spiders that are so familiar. The males are minute and rarely seen.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
1/125s f/3.5 at 5.0mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
