Nice camouflage.

No wonder it made a kill. I think these spiders are fascinating, if not a little gruesome. Found another one today that had managed to tackle a bumble bee which I think was a pretty good effort.

Wow, very cool pictures! How did you even spot him there?

[chrisb99]

Thanks. I admit it took quite a while before spotting it.

Chris those are excellent shots - very nice find :) ...

[Mick Emmett]

Very nice, it must be a Chameleon Spider ;)

[dpastern]

Excellent shots, very nice looking Crab spider. They are exceptionally good at camouflaging themselves in order to capture prey. Well spotted, you nailed the exposure pretty well as well.

Great shots and good observation to spot him.

very nice shots here..............crab spiders are amazing little critters..... the fact they can change colour to suit the flower they are on makes them even more so

[Leorooster]

Great captures. I still haven't seen one of these crab spider in person :(

[chrisb99]

Thanks for all your comments. Alan, you are right that they are amazing. Good luck with your search Leorooster. In the UK they seem to be fairly loacalized as I have only ever seen them where I am living now. I will endeavour to post something other than crab spider next time...
