  1. Neat spider! Still trying to get there to see you!

  2. Though the spider does look ghostly in color, the rounded body shape and the way the legs are held out in a recurved position makes it a crab spider. I'm used to seeing them either white or yellow, but yours has even better camouflage with even a matching pink, great shot! The BBC site says some can change their color to match flowers, I didn't realize that. I love your globe thistle, they are so perfectly shaped.
