Can you tell me what kind of spider this is? I’m thinking a crab spider of maybe the yellow variety. I saw it in VA.

Hi Greg,
Crab Spiders are also known as Flower Spiders because of their behavior. Their colors can change to match their surroundings, and your photo is an excellent example, and they usually wait on blossoms for unwary pollinating insects to fly within their grasp.
