Finn’s spider & fly

Finn’s second guest posting Finn is my seven-year-old grandson. I played consultant, but Finn took and edited his own pictures using his own equipment and did the writing. I helped post them.

Crab spiders can change colour from white to yellow. Granddad and I looked for a white crab spider on a daisy, but we found a yellow one instead.

This is a crab spider waiting on a yellow cinquefoil for its lunch.

This crab spider finally got its lunch!

As I left the crab spider, I spotted a bee-mimic beetle on a daisy.

    Love the photos Finn! I’m glad I’m not that fly! The next time I lean in closer to take a sniff of a flower, I’m going to think twice….

    “Will you come into my parlor?” said the spider to the fly.
