Crab spider

Diaea sp.

Description:

A small green spider with a brightly colored abdomen hides well among the flowering tea tree. This is an ambush predator of small flying insects and will hide in a flower for a tasty bee or other insect innocently approaches the flower.

Notes:

They are certainly common but this one has stronger colors than most.
