Thank you so much Güni............I'm very happy that you like this pair of images. It was nice to find the crab spider. If it hadn't moved as I was passing I probably would have missed it. It stayed long enough for me to pop back indoors and grab my camera.

Enjoy the rest of your day...............

Glad you think so Isabel............I've hardly seen any spiders in my garden this year, which is very disappointing, so it was really nice to find this little beauty.

Thanks for visiting and leaving a nice comment!
