Mecaphesa Celer
''Mecaphesa celer'', known generally as the swift crab spider, is a species of crab spider in the family Thomisidae. Its range is quite large, and it is found throughout much of North and Central America. ''M. celer'' are sit-and-wait predators who hide out on the flowers and upper stalks of plants, waiting for prey to pass by. As a variety of crab spider, they have characteristically long first two pairs of legs which they use to grab prey. ''M. celer'' spin webs only for creating egg sacs and as part of mating, not for hunting. The spider is a notable example of a species that displays sexual size dimorphism (SSD), a phenomenon in which one sex is significantly larger than the other. In the case of ''M. celer,'' females are dramatically larger than males, sometimes over twice their size, making the species a case of extreme sexual size dimorphism. ''M. celer'' also displays sexual cannibalism, as the females have been observed to eat their male mates if the males are still ...

Mecaphesa Asperata
''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, and is a much smaller nearctic relative of the better-known Goldenrod Spider ('' Misumena vatia)''. ''Mecaphesa asperata'' was formerly in the genus ''Misumenops'' under the name ''Misumenops asperatus''. Howell (2004) provides the following diagnostic/identifying characteristics: "''M. asperatus'' is distinguished from ''Misumenoides Misumenoides is a genus of spiders in the family Thomisidae. Spiders in this family are commonly called "crab" or "flower" spiders.
