Instead, they rely on their camouflage abilities more than most spiders do, attacking their unsuspecting prey at close range with their crab-like front legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crab spiders can color adapt to their hunting terrains, including flowering plants and sometimes leaves. They then wait until a pollinator arrives and spring on it, catching their prey off-guard. Armed with venom that is toxic to bees, many crab spiders can overcome prey much larger than themselves, poisoning their victims with their venomous bites and then sucking them dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Females wrap their eggs in silk on a folded leaf and stand guard over their young spiders until they hatch. Crab spiders also have excellent eyesight with eight eyes and the eyes on the edges of their bodies are often raised up, so they can see in every direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because crab spiders prey on pollinators, they can actually reduce pollination by bees, flies and butterflies that learn to steer clear of them. Crab spiders perform some pollination as well. Because crab spiders are easily spotted on leaves, they also make easy prey for predators that include wasps, lizards, ants, and birds. However, crab spiders help control pests by eating mosquitoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Giant Crab Spiders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giant crab spiders, Arizona natives, are actually a different family of spiders, Sparassidae, or huntsman spiders, named for their speed and mode of hunting are also called giant crab spiders because of their size and appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crab Spider Facts Size:&nbsp;ranges from 0.16\u201d to 0.3\u201d long with the females being bigger Scientific name:&nbsp;Thomisidae Location:&nbsp;Australia, North America, South America, Europe, Hawaii, and Asia.
