Monomad: Waiting for Prey

This is the most feared predator of pollinators. The crab spider is the most patient ambusher among other predators. It stands still and will only move when it sees its prey approaching. Wherever flowers bloom, the crab spider waits for its prey. Pollinators always come to blooming flowers; they need nectar to survive. On the other hand, the predator also needs prey. Wildlife tends to be cruel, there is no mercy for others.
