Field Guide 1966 - Arthropods - Goldenrod Crab Spider page finished. Who knew they had such interesting camouflage abilities?

Habitat

The goldenrod crab spider can be found all over the Northern Hemisphere, and it gets its name from the goldenrod sprays in which it hunts during the autumn. Other hunting grounds for this spider include spotted joe-pye weed, ox-eye, spotted jewelweed, evergreen blackberry, common milkweed, queen anne's lace, common dandelion, black-eyed susan, bird-foot violet, bushy aster, swamp rose mallow, and common mullein.

Goldenrod crab spiders can range from yellow to white, depending on their current flower, and can change their color to blend in with their current flower species. This spider does not use a web to capture its prey, but does produce webbing as a safety line, and also for creating egg sacs.
