| A yellow crab spider, *Misumena vatia*, is camouflaged on a yellow flower, capturing a smaller insect with its legs. The flower features a strikingly vibrant yellow with a prominent central disc composed of numerous tiny florets. The spider's coloration makes it nearly indistinguishable from the flower petals, exemplifying its ambush predation strategy. This scene takes place in a natural setting where such spiders often wait for unsuspecting prey. |
