spider playing tag

tag challenge tags were flower and leaf
didn't realise at first this spider was visiting this flower too. love that he is colour co-ordinated.

Ok, the spider's belly is that purple bubble or is he just in front of it. Either way--spectacular and fun!

[kali]

@darylo yes that is his abdomen :)

[Daryl O'Hare]

@kali66 soooo coooool! Great catch!

The crab spiders ability to camouflage itself is remarkable.This is the first time I have seen one purple!This is a beautiful macro.

Hide and seek

[Catherine Pace]

[Rachel]

Beautiful capture

[kali]

@gozoinklings like the queen of hearts in alice and wonderland perhaps? :)

[kali]

@mzzhope come to think of it I have a photo of one on a white and yellow flower and it is yellow and green, do they change colour like a chameleon?

[Jae]

Very cool!

[Pamela]

That happens to me too. I am taking a photo of a flower and then all of a sudden I either notice a bug or spider or they fly or fall onto it. So much fun, double the pleasure. Fantastic macro - Looks fantastic on magnify. Love the eyes, nose and mouth that give him a human appearance.

[Hope D Jennings]

@kali66 yes,Kali they do!They ate amazing and beautiful!

[Barb]

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

[Jo]

Great catch, I love what looks like a perfect little face!

[GiGi]

Very stylish spider

[Liana Bull]

Up close and personal shot - not scared of spiders then?

[kali]

@kiwinanna not if they aren't crawling on me, I was very scared as a child when daddy long legs sat on the wall above my head, I would freeze until they moved and then bolt haha, but being a gardener you can't afford to be scared of them, and fortunately there are none really to be feared in NZ
taking macro photos of them makes me appreciate their beauty. they are actually furry some of them!

[Rohini Gupta]

Beautiful macro. what a lovely color he has.
