A Goldenrod crab spider/Flower crab spider/blomkrabbspindel (Misumena vatia). These spiders may be yellow or white, depending on the flower in which they are hunting. Especially younger females may change color at will. They do not make webs. The pictured spider is hunting on the flowers of a rhubarb. Värmland, Sweden (June 6, 2017).

Goldenrod Crab Spider
Across nature patience is often a virtue when it comes to capturing prey. Executing a skillful strike, as this Goldenrod Crab Spider did, is the other half of patient hunting.

I have finally drawn a spider! (:
For someone who has themed their biased a large portion of their online presence around spiders/bugs, I sure don't draw spiders a lot.
Spiders are my favorite animals, and this one is a depiction of the Goldenrod Crab Spider, my favorite species.
I can't stand drawing the segmented legs on members of the phylum Arthropoda (includes but not limited to spiders, insects, centipedes, shrimp, etc), so I don't tend to draw spiders. This time I just improvised the legs and hoped they turned out okay.
I had a poll up on my Instagram to determine the color palette, choosing between a sun themed design, and this moon design.

@sarnie-for-varney submitted: Could I have an identification on this arachnid? This picture was taken in the [removed]. (Could you remove the location please?) Spotted on a buttercup, which I'm assuming it was using as camouflage due to the bright yellow colour. Always wondered what sort of spider this was. Thank you!
She's a goldenrod crab spider! They can actually change their color to match their environment, so it's possible she wasn't yellow until she took up residence in the buttercups. Yellow and white are the most common colors for them, though :)
