Crab Flower Spider, female. - Misumena vatia

These spiders do not spin webs, but instead sit on flowers and hunt by ambushing their prey. They have shorter and broader third and forth legs and longer first and second legs. All crab spiders can hold their legs outstretched and can move in any direction. Males are 2 - 5mm long and always smaller than the female.
