Awesome Crab Spiders of Ainsworth

This crab spider seems to be saying, "Just look at me! I'm so flippin' awesome!"

Or maybe she's saying, "What? You got a problem with me?"

She might be a Goldenrod crab spider. They have the ability to change color, between yellow and white, to better blend in with the plant where they are sitting and waiting for prey. But they can't turn green to blend in with green onions.

Not sure why she chose to sit there. The insects that make up her diet don't generally hang out in the middle of green onion stalks. Maybe she just wants to stand out, in all her awesomeness.
