White spider ....

[jezlee]

Could this be a female Misumena vatia? According to my book, they usually hide in white flowers, but this one was on a bramble leaf ... not exactly chameleon-like camouflage, is it?

Perhaps it had only just landed on the leaf - it takes a little while for them to change colour. On the other hand, perhaps it was in transit to another white bramble flower?

From what I recall, there are several colour forms ... and, as Thunder suggests, it may only have temporarily landed on the 'wrong' background - hopefully a predator didn't notice it before it got to a white flower ....

There was one on my white Dame's Violet last week that captured a Small White!
