If it wasn't up against 4 of the cutest frogs on the planet... how does anyone compete with that??! Only this pic made me hesitate. This pic is so focused, such pretty colors, and wow - what a lovely critter, as far as spiders go. Apparently very smart too, she blends in so well. What kind of flower is this? 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

Thanks, Tiffany. I took this picture a few years ago at our place in NE Pennsylvania and I honestly can't recall which wildflower it was. I have to pay attention next Summer, I see these flower spiders all the time on white blooms there. |

Superb capture! Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. |

Ursula, I have seen them too. If memory serves I think I saw them on Queen Anns Lace. I'm going to look it up. |
ge1836 Nov 13, 2014 9:20 AM CST |
I found Crab Spiders and there is a large number of them. I believe this one can change its color depending on the background. |
Ursula Nov 13, 2014 9:27 AM CST |
Yes, mostly on Queen Anne's Lace. But I don't think it is that in my picture. |

JoAnn, I've seen green ones before, on greenery! Interesting... 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

Ursula, I dont think yours is QAL either. |
Ursula Nov 13, 2014 5:09 PM CST |
I think I got it. This was Yarrow or Achillea millefolium. |
ge1836 Nov 14, 2014 3:57 AM CST |
Now I see the petals. Looks like Yarrow now. |

Ursula I agree, the dialogues from the images I posted made me happier than a first prize. |

Sorry, I'm late to the discussion. I should have started with this category! Yes, I love love love this picture! I also do love spiders. Even whatever mean one bit me over the summer and really did a number on my leg. We had a yellow crab spider here last year. We had to look it up. Sadly I have not seen another one since. Intriguing creatures. Thank you for this great photo! |
