This drama playing out was photographed on a rose in my garden, the spider so well camouflaged the bee must have thought the rose was trying to eat it! Thank you Diana 🙂

At our spot, the crab spiders are so scarce this year, it is disconcerting.
Lovely shot, Pete,

It is worry with many invertebartes. I have seen about three crab spiders so far this year here.
Thank you Ark.

I didn’t see the spider at first, not until I got closer.

Thank you David. What started out as what first appeared to be a bee turned into something even more interesting.
