Very beautiful Nikola, I really like the vine thing in the picture, adds some nice contrast to the colors of the flower and spider.

Thanks folks.

These guys can catch much bigger prey than themselves. See "Supper time".

Very nice there Nikola, I read somewhere where some crab spiders have the ability to change their colors to match their surroundings, like some lizards I guess. Great shot!

I was always surprised by the strength of crab spiders keeping the big prey like the butterfly on the strong wind.
