White Crab Spiders also hide in flower plants waiting for preys. Their abdomen just look like the flower buds. At day time they rest in their retreats made by the leafs and their silk, which are usually on the underside of leaves. At night they sit beside the flower and wait for the visitors, such as the small moths.

This spider is also common in Brisbane gardens, backyards and bushes
