Description

This little guy was determined to protec his flower. The closer I got the bigger he tried to look. I'm sure in the insect world it would have worked quite well. ZOOM for best details ***Update*** The spider in this image is a Goldenrod Crab Spider here is a website with more info on crab spiders http://www.everythingabout.net/articles/biology/animals/arthropods/arachnids/spiders/crab_spider/

Bless him, he really love his flower. Close up spiders are most beautiful, this little guy most certainly is a charmer I guess.

This is a fine collage and series of shots of the spider. This one which I do not know looks like a jumper, perhaps. Yet, it protected the flower and did not jump. The color of the flower makes this even more appealing...what a combo of color with the flower blue and the spider so neatly marked.

If there is beauty in a spider you have captured it. Wonderful job. JDoc

Very nice captures. I do not know the species but it is definitely one of the crab spiders. A very pretty one at that. The blue bloom provides a wonderful background and the details are crisp and clear. Thanks for sharing. Lee
