I told you that I will cut Helichrysum flowers to dry. And I did it. First, I left them beside that all the bugs come out. And look what started to run away from them!
That is one of the crab spiders (Misumena vatia). They are called so because they are capable of lateral movement along the common movement forward - backward.
After escaping from the Helichrysum flowers, he quickly found his new place. Soon I found him lurking in the Sandevilla flowers. He is a true flower spider.
This spider is special because it does not make the web, but its victim hunts from the ambush.
Helichrysum was a full hit, a perfect hunting ground because among those flowers he was inconspicuous; yellow spider in yellow flowers. And as the multitude of bees were constantly flying around, he had an easy source of prey.
Now it is easy to notice that yellow dot in the red flower. If he stays, the butterflies and grasshoppers that come here will end fatally. I'm just wondering if he will stay or move to another hunting place!
