Crab Spider Proves Florals Are Definitely 'In' This Year

Spiders don’t evoke a cuddly image, but the crab spider, or Epicadus heterogaster, may change that.

The insect has a softer look, with its longer, thicker front legs and marshmallow-like body. It’s white body and yellow and black legs make it look more like a Pokemon than a spider.

The stunning bug may look innocent, but its floral shape helps it lure prey. It uses ultraviolet light to help mimic foliage and attract other insects. Credit: NataliaCM via Storyful
