Actually nice shots. And kind of cool spider. What kind is it? But ew. I'll be girly. Ew.
An understandable reaction Mel, both from you and your son.
It's a crab spider. I'm pretty sure this is a female judging by the large abdomen. Crab spiders don't spin a web, they hide in flowers and ambush honey/pollen collectors, including bees and hornets. Pretty tough customers.
