Goldenrod crab spider
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

Paano ito makikilala
- 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
Madalas mapagkamalang: 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
Lakas ng kamandag
Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.
Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
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

Kung kumagat ito
- Hugasan ang kagat at lagyan ng ice pack para sa sakit. Kumuha ng tulong medikal kung matindi ang sakit, kumakalat, o masama ang pakiramdam ng tao.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung kagatin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
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
The spider can catch prey much larger than itself, because its paralysing venom works so well.1
Unlike many spiders, it does not wrap its prey in silk. It relies entirely on venom to hold its meals still.1
Females leave silk trails called draglines behind them as they move, and males follow these trails rather than pheromones.1
Females wait on flowers and do not travel far, while males roam over great distances to look for mates.1
Females live longer than males, on average.1
Myth buster
Mito: Because it is a venomous spider with a name like Whitedeath, it is dangerous to people.
Totoo: 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
