![colour changing 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 (crab) spider,[1] because it is commonly found hunting in goldenrod sprays in the autumn. Young males in the early summer may be quite small and easily overlooked, but females can grow up to 10 mm (0.39 in) (excluding legs); males reach 5 mm (0.20 in) at most. It can change colour from yellow to white depending on where it is hunting.

I love travelling and have been to Borneo, Thailand , Ecuador, The Amazon Basin, Peru, India, Spain,Greece,Turkey,Morocco, France and now I'm going to Madagascar,Réunion and Mauritius. I'm chairman of the local Horticultural Society and belong to The Alpine Garden Society. If I had been born in earlier times I would like to have been an intrepid Edwardian lady explorer and plant gatherer!
