Crab Spider

Thomisus sp.

Description:

In most species females are four to ten mm long, with males two to seven mm. Many are brightly colored, usually matching the color of the flower in which they are waiting in ambush.[1] Not all species are flower-dwelling, but among those that are, at least some species can change their colour over a period of some days to match the flower colour.
