The triangle crab spider exhibits an extraordinary form of mimicry, often resembling a flower or plant part, a tactic evolved to ambush prey. This captivating species has evolved a distinct palette that provides exceptional camouflage within its habitat, allowing it to pounce on unsuspecting pollinators that venture too close. Even in its juvenile stage, the triangle crab spider displays such proficiency in ambush tactics that it successfully captures and consumes insects multiple times its size.

Featuring a unique ability to change color to match its environment, banded crab spider is a master of camouflage. This arachnid's diet changes from larval parasitism during its initial life stages to active predation as an adult, showcasing a fascinating developmental dietary transition. In its mature form, banded crab spider employs its remarkable crab-like sideways walking to stalk prey, capitalizing upon its extraordinary visual acuity to ambush unsuspecting insects.

The animal belongs to the genus Thomisus. The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1881 by Ferdinand Karsch.

Boasting an impressive mastery of stillness, spectacular crab spider is adept at ambush, mimicking its surroundings with a remarkable color-changing ability. This arachnid's diet, largely consisting of pollinating insects, is captured with sudden, swift movements, as it patiently awaits within blossoms. The striking contrast between its hunting strategy and the tranquility of its floral habitat illustrates the complex tapestry of nature's adaptations.

With its remarkable ability for camouflage, brown flower crab spider is distinguished by its practice of ambushing prey while remaining undetected within flowers. This skilled predator has powerful front legs adapted for grasping, allowing it to capture and consume a diverse range of insects. As it matures, brown flower crab spider undergoes significant color changes, facilitating its ability to blend with various floral environments, which is critical for both predation and protection from its own predators.

Sporting a vibrant palette that blends seamlessly into floral environments, thomisus citrinellus is a master of ambush with its crab-like walk allowing it to adeptly maneuver and navigate petals and leaves. As an arachnid, it has refined this art, capturing prey by surprise rather than weaving webs. This predator is particularly noteworthy for its ability to change color to match its surroundings, a process that can take days. Primarily preying on pollinators, thomisus citrinellus's diet reflects its botanical haunts, shaping its role in the subtle balancing act of its ecosystem.

Females can grow up to 6 mm, males up to 4 mm. Prosoma and legs are green, the opisthosoma is yellowish with a brown mark.
