Yellow Spider on Yellow Flower
|
About This Image
Another example of Misumena vatia. These spiders are common on flowers at this time of year. They can change their color from yellow to white, or from white to yellow, in about 5 to 6 days to match the flower they're sitting on (I also found a greenish one last year). Flies and other insects visiting these flowers are walking right into their trap. These spiders seem to have good eyesight, as they often retreat to the underside of the flower as you approach.
