Another Verbena lover...

Arachnophobes  look away now...

What a cute little spider you are! Photographed on our Verbena where we normally photograph flying insects. We have never seen one prior to this sighting yesterday.

In our attempt to get a better photograph it fell off... "You horrible humans, it took me ages to climb to the top of that plant..."

The Goldenrod spider is a member of the Crab Spider family, you can see the resemblance!

It may be small but if you look on the Royal Albert Museum link there is a photograph of it eating a honey bee...  It is obviously not that cute!!
