The Flower Crab Spider (Misumena vatia) is of the family Thomisidae which is in the genus Misumena. It
occurs in the temperate regions of Europe and North America where it is
known as Goldenrod Crab Spider or more simply Flower Spider.
Only the female can change colour normally either from white to yellow or visa versa but this can be a protracted process. The minute black and white male can be a real challenge to locate.
