A Goldenrod Crab spider for Mellow Yellow Monday
This Goldenrod Crab spider spider can also be called a flower spider, as it often sits and waits for its prey on a flower, This small spider can change its colour from white to yellow. It does not spin a web. As shown in the picture above this spider has a couple of red slashes on its abdomen.I remembered seeing a similar spider in my garden a couple of summers ago. I posted about it here:http://naturetales.blogspot.com/2006/09/spider-webs.html and I was able to id it by goggling goldenrod crab spider and then I clicked on images and compared my picture to others on the web.

DAWN TO DUSK
Yellow’s the color I wear at dawn
When dancing dewdrops spangle the lawn.
Red is the color I wear at dusk
When earth and sky are dry as a husk
And nothing stirs—not even a wing
Of bat or swallow or anything!
