Like a Chameleon, Only Slower - _TNY_5089
The goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia), also known as the flower crab spider, is an ambush predator and they like to climb up flowers and sit there camouflaged in wait of some pollinating insect dropping in and becoming lunch.
Females, like this one från Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park, are much larger than the males and while the males have more than one color, the ladies have a single colour, kind of.
You see, they can (in a couple of days) change colour so instead of being all white, they become all yellow. This one is probably in the process of changing and curently somewhere in between hues so to speak.
