#Arachtober 24: this handsome, feisty crab spider (_Xysticus_? Coriarachnini, anyway) was all like "I'll fite u!!!…unless you're an incomprehensibly immense weird-feeling alien being in which case I'll just stay very still and hope you go away."

New Travis McEnery video about _Misumena vatia_, the goldenrod crab spider! It's quite a good one, going into their hunting method, colour change ability, and more. You'll be surprised how much we don't know about this common species. https://youtu.be/MyshXlHuZdc

This a crab spider (family Thomisidae) of some sort. My experience with this is the members of this family hang out near flowers and nab pollinators when they land.

#SpiderSunday: I saw the fly and was holding the milkweed flowers to get a closer look before I saw the crab spider holding it!
The fly was an anthomyiid; I've included a pic of one of its live comrades.
