The #crabspider #Ebrechtella #tricuspidata has a #palearctic native range and is widely distributed, but in Europe appears more often in the East and South. In Germany it is considered not very abundant, but common. It prefers warmth exposed moist areas. H. Guo et al. (2025) found that #femalechoice is focused on the #malesize only, while #male'choice (when #mating experienced) is towards #virginfemales.

Gorgeous yellow #spider on a #dandelion #seedhead. Probably a Misumena vatia, crab spider - not sure. He (she?) was perfectly aware of me and not so impressed with the attention.

#Tmarus piger is a somewhat unusual crab #spider, as it sits on twigs or grass with its front legs outstretched. They feed mainly on ants.
