Crab spiders don’t weave webs to trap prey, but conceal in surroundings like flower petals wait and ambush for insects. This Swift Crab Spider (Mecaphesa celer) perches on a sun flower petal with morning dews. The body is pale in green with brownish texture, camouflages perfectly in the hunting ground.
