Yep, it’s a spider.

I love how the centers of so many flowers are made up of many tiny flowers!

great macros
The closeups of flowers always amaze me. they are so intricate and at a glance we just see a pretty flower but when you get up close, it’s mind boggling to see what goes into the anatomy of their beauty.

Love the little crab spider on the Echinacea. They are pretty little spiders. I took a photo of a pink crab spider on a daisy a few days ago.

I wasn’t expecting the spider! Coneflowers remind me of the hairdoo on punk rockers.
