The flower spider (Misumena vatia) is an ambush predator.

It sits and waits, usually in a flower or inflorescence, for its prey to come to it.

Adult female flower spider bodies may be tinted white, rose, yellow, or green, taking on the color of the flower in which they live.

A patient killer, it waits quietly to embrace its next unsuspecting victim.

Though its chelicerae, or jaws, are small and slender, the flower spider possesses potent venoms that quickly immobilize its prey.

It does not wrap its prey in silk, but instead remains with the immobilized victim until it has sucked it dry.

This is probably one in a long line of posts where I'll explore the femme fatale theme, mainly because of the rich sartorial possibilities involved.
