Crab Spider
by Dana G. & Jordenn
The crab spider is reddish and its body is crab like. It has spines, eight
eyes in two rows. It lives in plants, fences, and rocks in the
winter they hide under stones. The crab spider does not weave webs. It runs sideways like a
crab. That is why it is called a crab spider. The crab spider mimics bird droppings so that
it can eat the bugs that go near it. It takes on the color of the flowers to
camouflage itself. They are wanderers and they're always looking for something
to eat.
