This Whitebanded, adult female, Crab Spider, was sitting contentedly on the flowers in the front garden yesterday morning. We chatted while I waited for the delivery truck to bring my new hard drive.
Just think, if it wasn't for that little computer melt-down, I would not have been out there and seen her. Once I spotted her, I had to conduct a search on my phone to see just what kind of spider she was. I learned they wait in ambush on flowers for visiting insects. Then they "seize their victim in the embrace of their first two pair of legs". Jeez. I'm glad I didn't see any of that while we were chatting.
