Danger lurks within
"Take time to stop and smell the roses," Mama said.

'Crab spider' is the common name given to a family of some 2000 species of spider, so named because they rather look like crabs, with flattened bodies and enlarged front legs. They are ambush predators rather than web-spinners, hiding in and around flowers and plants, and pouncing on any unlucky insect that happens to stop by.
