The goldenrod crab spider is a small, flat spider that hides on flowers and waits for insects to land nearby. It lives in Europe and North America. It is named for the way it walks, and it can change its colour to match the flower it sits on.1

Amaanyi g'obusagwa

Kiruma

Obusagwa buyita mu mannyo gaakyo amawanvu (fangs) oba mu mannyo amalala nga kiruma.

Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?

Its venom is paralysing, which means it stops prey from moving. The spider injects digestive enzymes with its fangs to break down the insides of its prey. The venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1

Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?

This spider is harmless to humans. Its fangs are not strong enough to pierce human skin, and its venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1

Ebituufu

1

Females can change colour from yellow to white, or back again, to match the flower they sit on. This process can take up to 25 days.1

2

The spider can catch prey much larger than itself, because its paralysing venom works so well.1

3

Unlike many spiders, it does not wrap its prey in silk. It relies entirely on venom to hold its meals still.1

4

Females leave silk trails called draglines behind them as they move, and males follow these trails rather than pheromones.1

5

Females wait on flowers and do not travel far, while males roam over great distances to look for mates.1

6

Females live longer than males, on average.1

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: Because it is a venomous spider with a name like Whitedeath, it is dangerous to people.

Amazima: The goldenrod crab spider is harmless to humans. Its fangs cannot pierce human skin, and its venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1
