I found this beauty this evening. It must have been on a yellow flower before, but it was sitting on a clump of small blue flowers when I found it and it stuck out like a sore thumb.

Thanks for looking and commenting Robbo and Chris. (y)

Went out this morning to see if this crab spider was still there. It was, so I decided to get some shots. I was just focusing on it when a bumblebee suddenly appeared and the spider made a lunge for it. It all happened so fast I was only able to get one shot off. The bee escaped.
My settings were all wrong, and the shot was badly overexposed, but this is what I managed to rescue.

Well, I just popped out again and found that my mate Crabby's patience has paid off. It was hidden under a leaf dining on a bumblebee at least twice its size.
