Well camouflaged and nestled in a dead miniature rose, I doubt that this Lynx Spider is waiting for an unsuspecting insect to approach. Judging by the way the petals have been strung together, the little rose has probably been converted into a nest. THIS one will be well worth watching!
Last year throughout August I posted various photos of a Crab Spider waiting for eggs to hatch.
The babies eventually emerged on 28 august 2011 and I had the privilege of posting photos of the event.
I have tried for a number of days to get a photo of this one, but the Spider would make a dash and hide as soon as I raised the camera. It must be getting used to me, because today it just sat there.
To avoid getting too close, I used a macro converter to try and get a shot of the face.
How amazing are the four little horns!
