This crab spider (Misumena vatia) is found in Europe and North america. It hunts by waiting motionlessly on a flower for any insect that lands there to feed on the nectar or that just passes. It can change color according to become less visible for the prey.

that's what queen anne's lace is...a wild form of carrot....Daucus Carota is its Latin name though...so must be a slightly different type in the pic, but still close enough for me, I'm happy with my flower identifying ability considering I usually can't identify any.....we have a fence row full of bright yellow with brown centers, tall, bushy and very resistant to anything...not to mention beautiful. Wild flowers just pop up here....we have a wierd for of wild rose...I wouldn't know it was a rose except for the smell and thorns....looks nothing like a rose....morning glories abound along the dog pen fence, queen anne's lace in the ditch, honey suckle scattered here and there....apple tree blooms in the spring along with the wild pear....there are many others I can't even begin to identify that grow in the horse pen....I tell my wife that God must have known that she couldn't garden for crap so he planted a little patch of can't killem wild flowers for here...oh i forgot about the cherry blossoms too.
