Crab Spider

July 17, 2019

 

I found this little yellow crab spider (Misumena vatia) hunting on the milkweed. I guess they love to eat bees, and there are sure plenty of them in the milkweed flowers!

 

Note, his left front leg is smaller and has less yellow pigment than his right front leg. He must have lost his original, and is growing another!
