Field Notes
Description:
Color changing spider to mimic its environment that starts off green with clear legs that have black spots. Females don't have a bulbous pedipalp like the male does. This series shows the spider slowly changing color to match its surroundings. The last two images show it eating a Western Honeybee. The egg sac is brown with a rough surface.
Habitat:
