 This is a green lynx spider. They take up positions on flowers and wait for insects to come have a drink and then they ambush them.

Nice detail on the spider, the flower it is on is a little distracting and my attention seems to get pulled to the white and yellow petal in front of the spider.

I love these guys! I had one on my roses in Texas and enjoyed the heck watching her when I could find her. Nicely presented with lovely bokeh.

This photo just creeps me out. I am not a fan of spiders but you have caught this one beautifully. Love the colors, composition and even the green spider. Great job.
