  They had just hatched, but were very fast and seemed eager to leave the web. Posted 7 years ago

      Ha, yes! Especially the one you've chosen as the pic to represent this species...not sure if it wants to wrestle or hug. Posted 7 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.
