Crab spider
Crab spider (Xysticus cristatus) emerging from a yellow flower. Crab spiders are unique as they do not build webs to trap their prey. Instead they actively hunt their prey. Their most common method of hunting is to hide in flowers and catch pollinating insects. They are able to do this due to their ability to change their colour to match the flower in which they are hiding. They are called crab spiders because of their protruding front legs, which make them resemble a crab.
