Mecaphesa asperata, the northern crab spider, is a species of crab spider in the family Thomisidae, found in North and Central America, and the Caribbean. It is a species of the ‘flower spiders’, so-called because they generally hunt in similarly coloured flowers for visitors such as bees and flies.
