Dangerous Dandelion - _TNY_1656
As I was leaving Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park yesteday, I reached the parking lot and noticed something on a dandelion in a ditch.
This "something" turned out to be this female goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) snacking on a male of some sort of mining bee (Andrena sp.)
The colour of the spider was somewhere in-between the snow white and the same yellow as the dandelion so I'm assuming she was in the process of changing. Presumably she is all yellow by now.
