Yes it can, depending on the species. Spiders use camouflage to mimic their surroundings or objects from the environment, in order to capture unwary prey. There is an Australian spider, for example, called the Bird-dropping spider (Celaenia excavata) which literally mimics bird droppings sitting motionless on a leaf. Other insects wander nearby, unsuspecting, and are then easily caught.
