It almost looks translucent Alberto. Especially the thorax and legs. Just like the BG flower.

Albert, these crab spiders are outstanding at blending in to what ever flower they're sitting on. I've seen them in a variety of different colors. This one would blend in well in a wider view. This close-up view shows it off very well with excellent details in the spider.

He sure is camouflaging himself quite nicely, Albert! I wonder if he changed colors, or if he is normally white? I don't think I have ever seen a white spider before! Excellent detail.

Very cool, Albert. There's a yellow one here that hangs out on the tansy I'll soon be pulling for weed control, but I don't think I'll get a shot in time for this. This one blends in very well and you did a good job separating it from the bg.

Nice to see an insect in the challenge, Albert. Perfect for the camouflage theme. The pof, detail, comp and color are all excellent.

Wonderful! I've been photographing these little crab spiders in my daylilies for the past month! They come in so many different colors. Your pink and white one is lovely...I haven't seen any like that around here. Great DOF.... You captured its eyes, fangs and body perfectly.
They are so funny, when they take an attack stance....they really think they are some kind of samurai warrior!
