Oh, you should really be careful, Rieko.. glad you're ok.

Crab spiders are fascinating to watch, always suspense time whenever another insect lands near this spider on a flower it is guarding.. will it get the other insect or will it get away? :-)

Thank you very much AgnesAdiqueTalavera. I added ID.
This spider was golden yellow and it really stood out. I got excited to spot this beauty and I was in a hurry to take pictures of it, and I fell down. I am okay, but I should be more careful ;-)
