Spiders

I like Crab Spider (Thomisus spp.)

 
There are many kinds of crab spiders, but those belonging to the Thomisus genus are unique. Many Thomisus species take up residence on flowers and prey on the pollinating insects that visit. Some species can change their body colour to match the flower they're sitting on. This might look like simple camouflage, but it's actually a lure. The bodies of these spiders reflect ultraviolet light, which makes their host flowers seem brighter and more attractive to insects. Reply
