Thanks Dahlia. Not a baby but I’m not sure if it’s full grown either. This type of crab spider is pretty small. But they’re strong for their size.

Thank you Patrick and Dahlia. It was really nice to have blue skies and bees return to the garden.

What Tersha said. 🙂

Terrific winter scene. Congratulations on POTW Tom.

I’m glad this was brought back to life. A lot of great images here that I hadn’t seen.

A year old shot of a crab spider.

Thumbs up. I’m amazed at how acrobatic they can be in order to hang on.

Thanks. 🙂 About the only butterflies around lately.

Nice work Diane. The Comma’s wings have such a cool shape. I don’t think we have those in my area.

Thank you Preston. 🙂

A really nice frame you captured her in. Light and detail spot on as well.

Thanks Leanne. From a distance they don’t look this “spiky.” She must have been tired. No pollen or nectar but stayed here for quite some time.

That’s a gorgeous photograph of a Swallowtail Ken. Couldn’t ask for a better background.

Thanks for your comment. 🙂

Thumbs up Diane. I like this a lot. Contrast, colors, light, and that little peek of the brick wall. Great shot.

Thanks Dahlia. 🙂 I’m getting an ERROR message telling me that “Thanks Dahlia. 🙂 is a duplicate reply; it looks as though you’ve already said that.” Guess I’ll have to mix up my thank you’s a little. 🙂

Congrats on POTW Diane. Kent and Graham did a wonderful job detailing what makes this such a beautiful image.

Mylitta Crescentspot. One week after this was taken our air quality jumped into hazardous numbers from the wild fires. Have seen almost no pollinators since. I guess they’re hunkered down waiting for the skies to clear like the rest of us.

A bit of a 3D effect here. Very nice.
