Thomisidae
The Crab Spiders vision is good. Light yellow Crab Spider on left and the prey is in the jaws. Their jaws are small, and after prey is bitten, it is held above the spider and sucked dry. Those that sit on flowers apparently have a toxin potent to bees, flies, and other insects much larger than themselves.
