Walckenaer
According to the
Web side
indicated below, the Walckenaer
spiders belong to crab spiders. The crab spiders are
intresting, colorful and "challenging" spiders.
Although all spiders have only five segments in the abdomen, the
Walckenaer spiders are "generally fused with no external trace of
segmentation." The Walckenaer spiders have " two pairs of legs
projecting forward." This gives them a " crab-like apperance" and thus
the name. Some crab spiders are yellow or white. They are located on
flowers where they wait for prey. Other crab spiders are rather " dull
colored and commonly found under bark."

The Goldenrod spiders,
according to the Web link shown below, belong to the Araneae family.
The Goldenrod spiders are " best known for [their] ability to change
their color from white to yellow in order to hide and camouflage among
flowers." The camouflage allows them to wait and then " pounce on
visiting insects." Some of them are big enough to hunt for small birds.
These spiders " rely on their amazing speed and paralyzing poison,"
which allow them quickly " subdue their capture." Therefore, the
Goldenrod spiders are considered as ones of the greatest " hunters"
and
most dengerous spiders
living in nature.

According
to the Web side
indicated below, the Yellow
Flower Spiders belong
to the Araneae family.
They are mostly
found on flowers, therefore they are
called Flower Spiders. The Yellow Flower spiders are " efficient
hunters, and waiting in flowers, often ambush prey as flies,
bees, wasp, and other nectar seeking insects. Their venom is powerful
enough to quickly subdue prey much larger that themselves so they do
not
wrap it in silk." These fascinating spiders are very popular among
other spiders. Their characteristic " small size and criptic
coloration"often require a challenge to find them in nature.
