UPDATE: Since several folks have never seen a pink crab spider, I googled it to see if it's rare or anything. Nope, tons of Pink Crab Spiders out there! Who knew? :)
I am now selling some of my prints!

@shuterfly Thanks Sondra! @trbo Thanks Travis! There is just something amazing about the macro/close-up world! @geocacheking Thanks! @miley89 Thank you Miley!
@tonygig Thanks Tony, it sure is! @sassik Thank you Sassik! @lynnb Thanks Lynn! I don't find very many pink ones, but I get a lot of yellow ones on my yellow daffodils. @psychographer Thanks so much Lisa!
@aurorajane Haha, thanks Jane! @cookie123 I'm not sure if they change; they might just find an environment that matches their color and make themselves at home. Thanks!
Awesome! You found one that changed colour, including striped legs! I found one a while ago, but it was just white. I found out that sometimes, they change colour to blend in with their environment.
@orangecrush Thanks Jerry! @timandelke I didn't see it at first. I was taking a photo of this flower and noticed something was spotting it up; turns out it was this little fellow! :)
Very observant of you to spot this tiny spider.
I tagged you in the replicate me thread. My pic got the most votes, but hoping you will set up number 3 on my behalf :)
@onie Thanks Leonie! Congratulations too! I don't think the Replicate Me series is catching on, so I am going to put it on hold until I can think of a better way to sell it :) @michellegaynor Thank you Michelle! @sianipops Thanks Nia! Isn't nature awesome? :)
@rockinrobyn I haven't seen the spoon on there since yesterday; it's good to make room for someone else (or another one of mine LOL). Man, I am going to be put on probation HARD pretty soon!
@cheribug Thanks so much Cheryl! She was just a tiny little thing too, very nearly missed it! I was actually shooting the flower with my 50mm prime and had to rush into the house to grab my macro when I saw her! :)
@abhijit Thanks Abhijit! I was worried about the same thing happening while I ran and got my macro lens, thankfully she was still there! @webfoot Thanks Paul!
@soozieqt Thanks Susan! @carolmw Thank you Carol! @ladyjane Thanks so much LadyJane! @myhrhelper Haha, I think nature had a LOT to do with it Kathy! Thanks! :) @cwebb Thanks so much Cupcake!
I don't often check out the PP but recently have seen your pix all over it - I imagine Ross is saving a space for your shots as they are really hitting the zone this month! Marvellous mate well done :)
Hee hee Sondra at the top accidentally put "crap" spider...I am sure autocorrect did that. So funny. This is another great macro! What lens do you use? Do you use tubes? THis is great and a fav!
@leananiemand Thanks Leana! :) @filsie65 Thanks so much Phil! I do seem to be streaking at the moment; but we all know how that comes and goes, I could be in a slump next week! :) @espyetta Haha, I hadn't noticed, too funny! For most of my close-up work I use a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro, I rarely use tubes (I do have a pretty nice set and should use them more often!) Thanks MaryBeth!

@suebarni Yes they are Sue! For that very reason I think I miss a lot of them! :)

@michaelelliott Thank you Michael!
@webfoot Thanks Paul!
@myautofocuslife :)
Gorgeous shot, Aaron! Some crab spiders do change color to blend in. This one is very pretty. And the pinkness of the petal it's on is sweet! 8D
What a great job!
