Tiny spider on Blackberry blossom

Tiny spider on Blackberry blossom

Description

Same little spider taken the next day. This is the same blackberry blossom only now it is open. I was surprised to find the little spider still there. It took a while to get his picture because as I would move in to shoot he would scurry around to the back of the flower.

Marsha S. Smith April 11, 2005

Thanks everyone. I love these blooms too, it is just a blackberry bloom, but they are really beautiful when they first open. They are kind of delicate so get really ratty in a short time. I just couldn't believe that little guy was still there. #1245932

Marsha S. Smith April 11, 2005

I went out to check on the spider this afternoon and am posting 2 shots. One is all that is left of the flower. The other is the spider was on one of the leaves just below the ruined flower and is having a hearty lunch. #1246016

Noel Baebler April 11, 2005

Neato, Marsha! If the spider is there tomorrow, you have to give it a name. :-) #1246720

Marsha S. Smith April 11, 2005

Thanks, Noel. He doesn't like me very much, hides everytime I try to take his picture. But it sure has been fun seeing him there everyday. I am really afraid of spiders as a rule, but this guy is only about 1/4" across - legs and all. #1246784

That is so true, Laurence. I see things since I started photography that I would have just passed by before.

Thanks Jordi - he's easy to care for, he even finds his own dinner. LOL #1247182
