    Two weeks ago I captured the female Goldenrod Crab Spider. Yesterday, about 60 km away from the first place I spotted the male and juvenile of this species. I am very glad I got the "family" together. Posted 11 years ago

The Goldenrod crab spider

"Misumena vatia" is a species of crab spider with holarctic distribution. In North America, where it is the largest and best-known flower spider, it is called the goldenrod crab spider or flower spider, because it is commonly found hunting in goldenrod sprays in the autumn.
