I'm not sure what kind of spider this is, saw it on a flower in Jasper a couple weekends ago.

    Wonderful capture- it's one of the colour changing flower crab spiders.

    I've only ever seen them on pink flowers, I would like to see them on a different color flower so I could see them in a different color. But they definlately look like a small crab.

    Well, here's a different color then! Lol. Titled Ghost Warrior since it was very well matched with the white on white and got defensive with me there :)

    Cool - hard to believe it's the same spider. Without getting into Macro photography I would have never knew that such a creature existed.
