 A
confession, I got so close to this defensive spider, it
dropped its meal. But I found it, presented, and it was
promptly accepted.
|
 They come in this cool yellow color and white, depending on the plant for camouflage, then pounce, ambush!
|
 See the fly propped up to the stem behind the spider?
|
|
 At first glance, what spider? Just a fly doing a handstand?
|
 Nope, that would be a crab spider with a death grip around its neck, wonderful example of camouflage.
|
 This one has been in the sun too long, looking rather pale.
|
|
 Ok, honestly, don't remember the context of this photo, forgive me...
|
 This was upstate on a cloudy day, giving this crab spider a ghostly pallor.
|
 Spider one, fly none.
|
|
 Picking its way delicately across an aster.
|
 Is
that an egg sac that spider is on? No wonder she is so hungry.
|
 It's like the fly is wearing a big fat spider hat.
