That's hilarious! I never noticed the spider!
wow,superb camouflage!! These spiders can change color according to the color of the flower.
Livan, I was wondering when someone would spot the spider. Very well camouflaged - I didn't spot it until I took a photo of it.
I guess this spotting will be about the spider.
Well this skipper is actually lunch...of that big yellow crab spider between it and the center of the flower!!!!
Thanks Joshua. I will have to learn about skippers sometime...
It is a species of skipper
