Field Notes
Description:
The crab spiders hold their legs outstretched to the sides just like crabs and can move forward, backward or sideways. The front legs are also angled in a similar fashion to crabs.
These spiders do not spin webs, but rather wait on flowers and foliage to attack their prey. Crab spiders are also usually well-camouflaged, often blending into the flower they are sitting on. They are generally yellow or tan in color, or are white with black dots on their stomachs.
