Yellow Spider

Found this lil guy today in my garden. I think it's a Crab spider. Crab spiders get their name because they move sideways, like crabs. The body is not as hairy as in most spiders.

This spider lives in flowers and I have seen it waiting for an unsuspecting bee or other insect to come along.

They quickly grab it and it's a tasty meal I bet!

    I am no fan of spiders but this one is unusual, at least I have never seen one like this. Great shot!!!
