Spider (Thomisus) -1-


This crab spider, well camouflaged has ambushed a bee. They are known to take on the colour of the flower they are on, here a white Arum Lily. The flies surrounding are Jackal Flies (Milichiidae.) They are often seen accompanying a predator, stealing body fluids of the prey.
 
Here is another Crab Spider, taking on a pink colour
