This image shows a white crab spider, a small, camouflaged predator often found on flowers. Pictured is such a crab spider feasting on a bee. Despite its size, this spider is a skilled hunter, using its pale color to blend in and surprise its prey. I found it eating a freshly bee in my balcony sneezewort flowers.
This is a stack of two photos.
