Crab Spider

The crab spider Thomisus onustus is a master of disguise, blending into flowers across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. Females can change color to match their flowery hideouts, turning white, yellow, or pink. These clever spiders snack on insects while also helping their plant homes by keeping pests away.

• Females change color to match flowers: white, yellow, or pink.
• Spiderlings hatch in late summer or early spring.
• Eats pollen and nectar when insects are scarce.
