Crab spider on Dandelion

Here is a perfect example of camouflage! This yellow crab spider is sitting on a dandelion and blending right in. She knows that flies, bees, beetles all like to nectar on these flowers and so all she has to do is wait!

How wonderful to see her right out in the open! I'm still waiting to get a shot of this pretty species. V

A lovely capture, not to mention the spider, the first crab spider of the season!! Very delicate and well framed. V
