Flower Spider (best viewed large)

Saw some coniferous tree in flower and thought I'd take a pic. Imagine my surprise when I saw this little beauty through my viewfinder. Had to move in for a close up (for you Livia! @myautofocuslife lol) She's about 1 cm across, a hunter by ambush, not by web.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

Great capture Lynn. You have a good eye to see this almost camouflaged spider.

@pamfromcalgary Thanks Pam. I thought of doing another 2 in 1 and show how it first appeared to me, but figured I'd done enough of those for now. It was very cool to see it.

How awesome is this! So tiny, and you've captured great details! Very cool color too, I've not seen one like this. Those front legs are amazing, aren't they? So crab-like! A fantastic shot, Lynn! 8)

I'm not sure if I want to view it large Lynn (:
Great capture! I'm surprised you saw it since it is so close in color of the immature pine cones or whatever they are.

@skipt07 Thank you. It was waving one of it's yellow legs when I was focusing on the end of the branch! Gave itself away!

[Carolyn White]

Cool capture! I haven't seen very many spiders this year.

I agree with @skipt07 , it's plenty big enough ;-) Great shot!
