Monomad: Deep dive into dense stamens

Flower crab spiders are known as camouflaged killers. They are clever hunters who choose the right place to disguise their bodies to deceive their prey. This method works well, and almost all ambushes are successful. They may not be as fast as jumping spiders, but their venomous jaws can paralyze their prey instantly.

This one is a white flower crab spider. A clever hunter! By now, the flowers of the roseapple plants in my yard are blooming. Pollinators are actively coming and going. This is the best time for the flower crab spider to hunt for prey. It lets itself deep dive into dense stamens. Then it just waits for its potential prey. Who will be the one to experience misfortune this time?
