and they were roommates

a napoleon spider (Synema globosum) sharing a flower with a spotted chafer (Oxythyrea funesta) might seem like an unlikely pair, but i've never seen one of these spiders even attempt to catch a beetle despite both species being very common. they must prefer lighter prey

Tiny Little Crab Spiders are Powerful Hunters

Hidden Northern crab spiders (Mecaphesa asperata) are interesting, and rather devious little hunters. Unlike a lot of spiders, they don’t build webs, but instead they are ambush hunters. They hide on plants that are flowering and wait for pollenators to come along for a meal. Then they leap out and bite the prey.

Pink crab spider, Thomisus onustus, Thomisidae

Despite the common name, this species exhibits a wide range of coloration including pink, white, yellow, green, brown, or a combination of any of those. Like other flower crab spiders, they are able to change their color over a matter of days to more closely match their environment. Found in Eurasia and northern Africa.
