Pair of crab spiders.

Nice catch, with the spiders (or did you place them there yourself

).

My whole life I've called these crab spiders and never known why or where I heard it. Glad to see I'm not crazy.

I like the seemingly straight down composition here - well done

**eaglem** · 05-13-2021, 07:34 PM

Very nicely captured and they are great little hunters

**mahanpots** · 05-13-2021, 08:01 PM

Very nice patterns.

I always carry a variety of bugs with me when out shooting. Just in case.

Well, you may still be crazy but these ARE crab spiders.

Thanks Em. They sure are. Last year got a shot of one holding a bee that was a lot bigger. Bee didn't stand a chance.

Awesome details.
Look like these spiders were fixing to go at it?
