Say hello to the Goldenrod Crab Spider. Waving at you from under the Magnolia petals! Actually, this isn't a friendly wave. This maneuver is a defense mechanism, meant to mimic the plant and its petals. Fun fact, it will also (slowly) change colour based on its environment. The chameleon of spiders!
