Just some goldenrod.

A pretty meh day but still managed to see several spiders:
- a mesh-web weaver couple
- a crab spider, something in Coriarachnini
- _Attulus fasciger_ with that teeny tiny posterior median eye clearly visible
- a cobweb spider, maybe _Enoplognatha_?#DailySpiderPic #spiders #JumpingSpiders #CrabSpiders #Araneae #Dictynidae #Thomisidae #Salticidae #Theridiidae

Today in the park, I noticed a lot of small flies around this one unhealthy-looking plant, a mint of some kind, that had been put outside the greenhouse. I looked closer to find…a flower crab spider (family Thomisidae, tribe Misumenini) feeding on a plant bug (family Miridae)! The small flies are kleptoparasites trying to get a bite of the spider's meal. It periodically flicked the flies away with its spare legs and moved around to get away from them, in vain.
I don't see flower crab spiders that often so this was a nice find.

#SpiderSunday: several of the spiders I met on that one warm day last week! A running crab spider (_Philodromus_), a bold jumping spider (_Phidippus audax_), some kind of crab spider in tribe Coriarachnini (_Bassaniana_?), and a good old zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_) with what looks like most of a mesh-web weaver (family Dictynidae).

2024 was a productive year for bug photography. I haven’t picked my favorites, but this crab spider hiding in goldenrod is a contender. #spiders #camouflage #nature #thomisidae

#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

bugs of Scarborough Civic Centre!!
1. tiny fierce crab spider in aster
2. worst bumblebee pic
3. the sedums were full of whirligig mites
4. aphids on those tall plants that look kind of like dandelions but, unlike dandelions, are always covered in aphids#ArthroBeauty #DailySpiderPic #DailyMitePic #bugstodon #arachnids #spiders #mites #insects #bees #aphids #Araneae #Thomisidae #Acari #Anystidae #Hymenoptera #Apidae #Hemiptera #Aphididae #macro

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.

#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.

CW: Spinnen
Ich war eigentlich auf der Suche nach ein paar Salatzutaten, da fällt mein Blick auf diese Gesellschaft in den Brennesseln.
Zwei wirklich schön und kontrastreich gezeichnete Listspinnen #Pisaura mirabilis und eine Krabbenspinne in typisch heller Frühlingsfärbung #Xysticus spec. (wahrschnl. cristatus).
