I encountered this absolutely stunning goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) in my roses this evening. I’ve never seen one in person before and this felt so special! I can’t get over how gorgeous she is. 😍🌹🕷️

I tried not to bother her too much, but she was definitely unamused by my camera all up in her business. 😅 Sorry lady! I hope you enjoy your stay and that you find lots of snacks! 🥰

She is white with four long front legs and deep a red stripe along either side of her abdomen. The background features green leaves and blurred pink petals, creating a natural setting.
