He thought he could scare me :p
Spreading his skinny legs as wide as possible to make him look bigger. It probably works for other spiders, but not a determined stalker with a camera - me.
And so we stayed like that for a while... me shooting and him waving at me in hope I would just walk away.
This is Misumena vatia a pretty common crap spider. Or at least I often see it, especially on white flowers where he can camouflage pretty well. Since he doesn't catch his food with spiderwebs, he has to be nearly invisible, and he waits for some fly or a bee to come closer so he can jump on it and kill it.
He even has tiny little veins on his body imitating the ones on the flower petals.
And then he decided to hide. Enough of sun and some annoying human is scaring all the flies.
He crawled inside the cluster of flowers, got himself all nice and comfy...
...and looked at me with these tiny like little amber beads eyes :)
And white I was busy shooting the little creature, I was siltley watched by another one:
Bonus shot:
This is what happens when the camera doesn't want to focus on the right thing.
