Last photo in #bugweek. Like yesterday, this is a very aptly-named critter...called the #flowerspider!

This pic was not intentional. I thought the fly looked a bit distressed as I passed, so I took a pic to find out why.

#Misumenavatia (I think). Super special - they can change colour at will.

Green Crab spider perched on a rose petal, with its front legs spread on the forefront. The rest of the picture is filled with the pink rose where the spider is standing.

Flower spider 🌸❤️🕷️
They’re one of my favourite spiders. I’d say this one is a Misumena (maybe Misumena vatia?) but again, I’m not an expert.

A red sunflower sporting a gold flower spider sways in the evening breeze as the sun sets. Other sunflowers and tall trees fill the background. ❤️🧡💛🌻

Red is my favorite #sunflower color. Same for this #MisumenaVatia.
