Crab Spider Not Blending In!
I was taking pictures of a Fiddleneck flower when I noticed this cool little crab spider on the stem. These spiders ambush their prey by waiting for insects to land on the plant, usually a flower, and then grabbing it before the insect can get away. These spiders are able to change color to blend in with the flower, and the reason this guy is so obvious is that a Fiddleneck flower is yellow-orange, and it was trying to hide from me on the stem! (They cannot change color instantly; it takes several days for this transformation.)
