Animals are the masters of hiding in plain sight. When someone points at a bright bird like a cardinal and you still can’t see it? Happens all the time to me.
On a dew laden morning the spider’s web can be easy to spot. I would imagine spiders curse the dew. LOL
Funnel spiders’ web are easily seen with the dew clinging to them.
As the dew disappears it is very hard to see anything but the bottom part of the web.
How many times have you gotten a face full from a web? Too many to count for me. 😉 And yes there is a web and a spider in the photo.
Definitely hard to see until the sunlight hits it just right!
Texas Spiny Lizard on the concrete was an easy find. However, on the bark of a tree it can certainly be a challenge.
Geometer caterpillars are great at become one with a plant like this Texas Thistle (Cirsium texanum).
This Geometer caterpillar may be a bit harder to see.
Did you know some crab spiders can change color to suit their location like on this Firewheel (Gaillardia pulchella)? However, it can take up to 2 to 21 days. So they usually stick to one flower.

Snug as a bug!
Prickly Pear cactus (Opuntia) hosts a crab spider.
I’m generally awestruck by the variety of camouflage different organisms use! The geometers are fascinating, and I especially love the caterpillar that decorates itself with the petals from the flowers it’s eating.
I loved listening to the trees. Thanks. And i always love seeing spiders.
Me too!
I found them all I think but it was close!! Good spots!!
