Arachnids


Caught this little bugger while I was wandering about Pt. Reyes a week or two ago. I had never seen a completely yellow spider like this before. He was nestled in between a bunch of passion flowers and I was lucky I ever saw him (with the added bonus of him injecting his venom into a bee). After a bit of research, I've finally decided that it is a goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia), but if you think it is something else, let me know! I'm not 100% sure about it.
