Crab Spiders
Crab Spiders are a species of spiders from the family Thomisidae. This spider does not build webs and can be found hunting prey on various flowers, plants, particularly grass at ground level. Crab Spiders are stealthy hunters that use
of the camouflage techniques to catch their prey. They also change their color to adapt to the environment they are in. They remain unmoved , sometimes for days in the same spot until the prey arrives and catches it. Once caught, they give their prey a poisonous bite
to kill it and suck it dry. If they spot a possible enemy they move quickly at the other site of the plant or flower to hide, or just leave.
