He thought he could scare me :p
Spreading his skinny legs as wide as possible to make him look bigger. It probably works for other spiders, but not a determined stalker with a camera - me.
And so we stayed like that for a while... me shooting and him waving at me in hope I would just walk away.
This is Misumena vatia a pretty common crap spider. Or at least I often see it, especially on white flowers where he can camouflage pretty well. Since he doesn't catch his food with spiderwebs, he has to be nearly invisible, and he waits for some fly or a bee to come closer so he can jump on it and kill it.
He even has tiny little veins on his body imitating the ones on the flower petals.
And then he decided to hide. Enough of sun and some annoying human is scaring all the flies.
He crawled inside the cluster of flowers, got himself all nice and comfy...
...and looked at me with these tiny like little amber beads eyes :)
And white I was busy shooting the little creature, I was siltley watched by another one:
Bonus shot:
This is what happens when the camera doesn't want to focus on the right thing.
Shot with Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105mm lens
All photos and text are my own.
The watcher is being watched isn't it? : )
even when the camera doesn't want to work they way you want it, it produce a very beautiful shot. : )
I hope to find this kind of crab spider in the future. : )

Cheers 🙂 wow, the look of the insect in conjunction with the flowers, it's beautiful. I like them.
My spidey senses were tingeling when I read the title and totally expected a #caturday post... lol
I've always been wondering though... these exact crab spiders seem to exist in white, green and yellowish-green variations... are those the same kind just somehow camouflaging with their environment or are those individual species looking for a habitat that fits their colour?!?
Crab spiders are the best!
The spider's back resembles a tick and looks quite thick.
Love these photos! What a beautiful spider and those blossoms are totally WOW!

Beautiful spiders that have attractive colors blend in with their resting place.
The tiny spider is very cute and full of spirit! He’s a real fighter! I hope he would survive in the wilderness for many years and grow much bigger.
The other day I found a large brown spider by the washing machine! He’s so fast.
Great photos are my friend! You managed to catch a moment like this. The spider is literally transparent.
Good morning dear friend @ewkaw
There are several things that catch my attention about this beautiful spider, it is incredible that it does not have spider webs to catch its food, and that it is so capable of camouflaging itself as it does, it is a master at disguise.
I love the photos you have been able to take of it.
I take this opportunity to wish you a beautiful Sunday
Hello @ewkaw
I don't know how you managed to discover this beautiful spider, it is very well hidden
Beautiful shots
I don't know if I'm the only one who is afraid of white spiders, they look dangerous for me 😄. But it is amazing how the spider tried to hide within those white flowers...
