Missumena vatia crab spider.

Description

Long time no see one of these spiders, whose vulgar name ("crab spiders") comes from the fact that their four front legs are so long and thick that they somehow resemble the tweezers of a crab. Besides, like those sea invertebrates, crab spiders can also move sideways.

The most special feature of these spiders is that they often live on flowers and can change colour (white, yellow, blue, green, pink) depending on the flower petals colours; just like chameleons.
