not sure what this spider is (possibly a crab spider), but i seem to remember it waits for insects to land on the flower then pounces on them..... i think. please correct me if i'm talking nonsense! :P
oh, this is a lily... waiting to flower too!
more spidery detail can be seen when viewed LARGE or ORIGINAL.
