These little ones do like to lurk and they often do a good job of color matching, as seen here.  Your comp. works well and you've got good details in the spider and stamen.

Hi Sandy,

Well done with this crab spider. I like the comp and how the spider stands out from the colors of the flower. Pretty good details toocrying...............Jim

What a pretty scene.  I bet even people with arachnophobia would like the color scheme and soft glow of this shot.
