There’s a predator hiding in this flower….Can you spot it?

At first I thought this honeybee had somehow died caught in the flower.

But look closely… there’s a white flower crab spider there.

Flower crab spiders don’t build webs. They hide in flowers and wait for pollinators to land before ambushing them, and some can even slowly change colour to match the petals around them.

I almost didn’t see it at all.

Oh Dandelion, dandelion
Out there out there on the lawn
The world takes you for granted
Like an old John Prine song

Yea Dandelion, dandelion
You won’t be here long
Hitch a ride with the summer breeze
And ’til next year, you’ll be gone
