Small Wonders II

Sunflower in Deer Field

The large spider that Joelle found in her bedroom.

Potato Beetle Larva

Crab spider found on the yarrow flower. It looks out of place on the stem of the plant where we teased it to, but is well camoflaged on the white flower head. Some crab spiders are able to change color to match the flower that they hunt from. Other crab spiders stay the same color and are specialized to a certain kind of flower. Note their crab-like legs.
