You have a gorgeous crab spider living on that flower! They're so colorful, and they camouflage on the petals to catch unsuspecting pollinators who land on the flower. Really good find!

Seeking ancient wisdom. 🌼🕷️📷 #flowers#flowerreport#spiders#inverts

A tiny white flower crab spiderling stands near and facing the center of a tattered rose campion flower. The flower has five broad pink/red petals. The petals are pocked and torn around the edges. The flower's center is undamaged and has nine vertical pointed structures arranged in a circle. The spider has its front four legs spread wide, and looks like it could be worshipping at an altar.

My beloved regal jumping spider Doty outgrew her old enclosure with her last molt so I have given her a tower fit for the finest wizard! She immediately got busy brewing potions and browsing her favorite literature. She is a very scholarly spider. #spiders#jumpingspiders#regaljumper#petspiders
