Wow! A new record for the garden. Actually recorded a couple of days ago. The Flower Crab Spider, in her full yellow suit, was lurking ominously in the apple tree, waiting for a tasty bee to buzz by. Those long front legs ready grasp its victim in order to inject a venom and then digest the poor creature in its own skin and suck it dry. Ambush is the name of the game here, these guys don’t spin webs to catch food. They simply wait! Welcome to the garden.
