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

Ho e tseba jwang

  • Wide, flat, short body that is shaped like a crab.1
  • Usually yellow or white, or a pattern of these two colours. It can also be pale green or pink, with white.1
  • Females have white or yellow legs. Males are darker, with red or brown outer shells and red and white bands.1
  • Holds its first two pairs of legs open, which are the longest, ready to grab prey.1
  • Can walk sideways, forwards and backwards.1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: Mecaphesa asperata is similar in size and shape, but it is light grey to brown with pink stripes on its abdomen and cephalothorax. Diaea crab spiders can be lime green, and some Xysticus and Coriarchne species are brown.1

Matla a chefo

Ho loma

Chefo e tswa ka meno a yona a chefo (fangs) kapa ka meno a mang ha e loma.

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

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

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E bobebeJwaloka ho hlajwa ke notshi kapa ho fetang moo. Ha e na kotsi ho batho.

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

Dintlha

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

Ho senya ditshomo

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

Nnete: 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
