Crab Spider on Coreopsis Flower (+PiPs)

Crab Spider on Coreopsis Flower (+PiPs)
While I was dead-heading the Coreopsis flowers in my garden yesterday afternoon, I spotted this very tiny Crab Spider nestled in the centre of one of them..........so I had to dash back indoors and grab my camera and macro lens, before getting down on my knees to get a couple of photos. Even with the macro lens, these had to be cropped.

PiP1 is another view of the spider.
PiP 2 is a quick shot I took with my thumb underneath to show some scale.

Thanks for looking!
