A goldenrod crab spider on a green plant. The spider is facing left. It is almost completely white, with two vertical red stripes on its abdomen and a small red strip across its face. The legs are spread wide, which looks like a crab. They can also move sideways like a crab.

Had a long tele lens, so found an amazing macro subject.😖

This close-up photo shows a bright yellow spider perched on the petal of a golden yellow wildflower, blending almost perfectly with its surroundings. The spider is a Goldenrod Crab Spider (Misumena vatia), a master of camouflage that waits motionless on flowers to ambush pollinating insects. Its body is rounded, with long, outstretched front legs giving it a crab-like stance. The yellow coloration helps it disappear against the petals of the goldenrod bloom it rests upon. ⸻ Suggested BlueSky Hashtags: #CrabSpider #GoldenrodCrabSpider #MisumenaVatia #SpiderPhotography #NaturePhotography #MacroPhotography #PollinatorPredator #WildlifePhotography #Camouflage #Biodiversity

I wondered why that insect (bee of some kind?) was sticking straight out, and then I looked closer and saw the goldenrod crab spider having it for lunch. #spiders #goldenrodcrabspider #yegwildlife

The goldenrod crab spider is also known as the flower spider due to it often hunting in flowers, like this one is. Also, just like crabs, they can walk sideways, forwards, and backwards! #goldenrodcrabspider #spider #canadianwildlife
