This was one of our biggest crab spiders in 2022, her name was JLo. She loved her Joe Pye home, and coordinated quite nicely with it.

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.

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

Misumena vatia colour change. Two weeks after I posted this yellow spider, I found her again on a nearby bramble flower where she'd turned white. The red markings remain unchanged.

This pic was not intentional. I thought the fly looked a bit distressed as I passed, so I took a pic to find out why.
#Misumenavatia (I think). Super special - they can change colour at will.

Blooming Trillium ovatum on a late march PNW forest floor, fringed by bleeding hearts & western sword ferns, with a bonus crab spider clinging to a sepal. Trilliums are among the most iconic native spring heralding flowers in temperate North America. This locally common species also has a rose-like fragrance and can grow quite large. 🌼
A western #trillium for #WildflowerWednesday, with #MisumenaVatia hanging in there too (so also #WildlifeWednesday). Crab spiders hide in a large % of local trilliums. 🌿 🌼 🌱

Two 7-spot Ladybirds have overwintered inside a euphorbia shoot. They have now been found by a small Flower Spider, which is spreading its forelegs possessively across them. The ladybirds are red with black spots. The spider is white, with 2 dark bands around each of her first and second pairs of legs, and dark markings along the sides of her cephalothorax and abdomen.
Possessive:

Misumena vatia (Goldenrod Crab Spider) on a white peony in my home garden a few summers ago.

I have so many garden friends, but I truly love looking for my little crab spider buddies. They're always poised to give out free hugs & seem to especially love pink and purple flowers🌸🌱

A red sunflower sporting a gold flower spider sways in the evening breeze as the sun sets. Other sunflowers and tall trees fill the background. ❤️🧡💛🌻
