Crab spider

Crab spider, Misumena vatia.
They are called crab spiders because of their unique ability to walk sideways as well as forwards and backwards. They feed on common insects, often consuming prey much larger than themselves using venom to immobilize their prey, though they are harmless to humans. They have a complex visual system, with eight eyes, that they rely on for prey capture and to help them change colour. Sometimes, if Misumena vatia consume colored prey, the spider itself will take on that same colour.
