Crab Spider (Arachnid) | 10% Beneficiary to shy-fox
Happy weekend everyone! So this post is going to be about some pictures of another spider, that is a crab spider, the unique one that I found hiding in between the leaves. To be honest, that was my first time finding such a crab spider like this. Indeed, I was so excited to get a few shots of this lovely species of spider. Crab spiders, (Thomisidae), the family of spiders (order Araneida) that are crablike in shape. Unlike many crabs, that often walk sideways or backward, this typical spider even walks toward me, disturbing my focus.
I did not give up on it, I tried to take a good chance to capture it while it was there. Crab spiders don’t spin webs to trap insects but they ambush their prey, often laying in wait on foliage for unsuspecting bees, moths, and other insects that come to feed on flowers.
The Thomisidae are a family of spiders, including about 170 genera and over 2,100 species. The common name crab spider is often linked to species in this family but is also applied loosely to many other families of spiders. source
