Adorable Itty Bitty Baby Crab Spider

Adorable Itty Bitty Baby Crab Spider
(2 notes above)

I was creeping around looking for interesting subjects when I noticed something very small that was flashing at me. Peeking closer, I saw an impossibly small spider waving back and forth in the breeze. I could barely get close enough to see what it was except that I recognized the posture which is undeniably "crab spider." When these spiders are in hunting mode, they always look like they are saying, "Yesterday I caught a bug THIS BIG!" LOLOL, oh how they make me giggle!

I found a bunch of neat images today, but none of them could hold a candle to this picture which I took yesterday. And so, here is my cute little friend for all of you to coo at and love along with me! I know that everyone just LOVES spiders!!! :D

Als je ooit een vogelspin wilt aanschaffen--koop dan een Brachypelma Albopilosa---(Krulhaar) deze is rustig en lief en je kunt haar vaak aanraken,,en haar oppakken tussen de eerste VIER poten met je duim en wijsvinger
