Find the spider!

Is it the red thing under the pulled-down white petals?

Yep Rik, spider's favorite position.

Here it is... fully visible.

The first image I like a lot better.

Well balanced, good composition, and a nice background with the exception of an arcing blade of OOF grass in the left corner of the image. But, this is a nature shot so no need for me to be picky.

Great pictures Nikola. Did the spider tie down the petals to hide itself? oops, dumb question...I can see in the second picture he has them tied down with silk...a very smart fella
