Regular readers will know that I love to photograph one of the more elusive residents of our garden - the crab spider, which waits in or on flowers for the arrival of a bee or other insect.
The footage is from the Attenborough documentary Life in the Undergrowth. I never saw it when if was frst shown only catching a repeat on Eden a couple of days ago.
And here once again is my favourite crab spider photo
Quite a character that one. Where does the name come from?
ReplyDeleteI suppose because it's stance and the way it holds its front legs remind people of a crab
