Crab Spiders<\/h5>\n

Crab spiders have been abundant this year. They are quite tiny, but also quite amazing. This year, in my yard, I have been particularly impressed with the variety of colors I have seen. On the rose ‘Foolish Pleasure,’ I saw a pinkish one. On the leaf of datura, I saw one that was white. Elsewhere I have posted an image of a yellow crab spider on the yellow stamens of a cosmos<\/a> bloom. These spiders are known to change color depending on what flower they are on. That certainly has seemed to be the case in my yard.<\/p>\n

Today I saw a crab spider on a sunflower, and was, once again, impressed with the way this little spider seemed to match the flower.<\/p>\n
