This little spider hides on the flower hoping he's camouflaged enough that the insects don't see him. He then pounces when they land. I took another photo of a small moth on the flower, when I looked at it on the computer it was a dead moth being held by one of these little spiders. Would have been a great photo but the focus was a bit off.
I love the look of these guys. They are so creepy looking. They are brutal with their prey though. I have seen them take down creatures like 20 times their size. But apparently, they are completely harmless to us. Great shot btw!
@callalilla Thanks Kimberly, that are pretty cute little fellows though. @jennarichards I haven't really seen them attack anything, only afterwards. @onepicatatime I did see this one here because he was a little larger but I have sometimes missed the smaller ones.
I have to agree with the first post from Kimberly...spiders also give me the creeps!!! But this turned out lovely! LOVE the yellow and the detail is just amazing!
