Crab Spider (+PiP)

Crab Spider (+PiP)
I've seen several crab spiders in my garden this year and they seemed to really like the Coreopsis flowers. This one is particularly well camouflaged.

I noticed the one in the PiP on top of one of my compost bins.......and it wasn't impressed at having its photo taken..!!

Sadly they all seem to have disappeared now but..........more next year, hopefully.

Nouchetdu38, trester88, Luc Reiniche, Colin Ashcroft and 26 other people have particularly liked this photo

The crab spider certainly is well camouflaged on your pretty flower Keith. You did well to spot it. A superb macro with the beady little eyes seeming to be quite happy for you to take the photo!

The spider in your PiP looks less happy and seems to be warning you off! Another great shot though Keith. Last night I caught a rather large black spider in my living room....I'm afraid it had to go outside! I am happy to see them outdoors but not indoors ;-))

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you very much Rosa................they tend to stay on the same flower for days at a time, so once you've found one it makes it easier the second time round!

Yes, the one in the PiP seemed quite annoyed.......and was definitely trying to make itself look bigger and more threatening, which made for a more interesting shot.

I'm not too fond of the large house spiders either............they move too fast for me!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
I find with the house spiders, if you clap your hand they immediately stand still and it gave me time to get a glass and coaster for its trip outside!!

I'll try that advice..........but I find screaming like a little girl works as well :-)))

I'm surprised that you managed to see that spider against the yellow flower! Two very fine shots.

Keith Burton club has replied to Eunice Perkins club
It's lucky that these spiders seem to stay on the same flower for days at a time. Once you find it the first time, it's usually easy to find it again! Glad you like both images and thank you very much Eunice.

Wow! Phantastische Aufnahmen, Keith! Schärfe und Details sind perfekt. Das PiP bringt mich zum Lachen, eine Kampfspinne ;-) Ich hoffe, dass es nicht zu gefährlich war!
