The season of daisies is upon us, so it is time to watch for crab spiders. These cunning predators habit wildflowers (apparently daisies preferred) and attack and eat those who come to seek nectar.
If you start looking for crab spiders on daisies, you might see one feasting on a pollinator. However, be aware that you will only find a crab spider on one out of two or three hundred flowers.

Lovely! So many eyes!
There’s a dark fairy tale here somewhere. Beautiful creature. I’m going to scan our daisies more closely.
