Goldenrod Crab Spider is a species of crab spider found across Europe and North America that hunts on flowering plants, giving it its common name. Females measure 6 to 10 millimeters long and males only 3 to 5 millimeters, and the species is known for its ability to change color between white and yellow to match the flower it is hunting from, using camouflage and paralyzing venom to capture prey larger than itself.
