this spider is a trick ,it camouflage with nature very well ... I like it
Thanks Karen. :)
Awesome capture Angel!
Yes, BioEu, great camouflage. I didn't even see the spider at all while I took pictures of it. I was trying to figure out what that bee was doing. Thanks for the suggestion, I will add it to that mission.
Thanks for the observation, SatyenMehta. It did strike me as that suggestion inspired me to post mine but I think they are different species. I hope others will correct me if I am mistaken about one or the other. This one I identified with a local source but the suggestion I made was using a more global source. I am not 100% on that suggestion.
Please consider adding this spotting to the Morphed Organism Names mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1148...
