Scientific name: Misumena vatia
Common name: Goldenrod Crab spider
This common Crab spider doesn’t make a net to capture its prey. It has a
unique ability to change its color, like a chameleon. It hides and waits
in flowers for its prey to come close enough to ambush it. The Goldenrod
Crab spiders can change its color between white, yellow and light green.
Also notice the big difference in general appearance in the male and the
female.
