The other day you may recall I was at the Windmill Lake. Well, after I finished looking for my sunglasses I went further.
My first friend to greet me was a jumping spider!
In the open glades I found the Dogweed (Dysodiopsis tagetoides)!
Also in the same area was the Golden Dalea (Dalea aurea)!
Perhaps you noticed the tiny green spot in the above photo. It was a hairstreak or a blue butterfly larva. So it is unreliable to know which unless you raise them.
Capturing the crab spider takes more than a few shots. So I’m twisting the flower around when I get another cat too!
Wow! That dalea sure was full of wonderful life. And ya gotta love the orcas😄
So much life to keep learning about!
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed all those crab spider hairs before.
I hadn’t either.
Cool spiky rears on the crab spider!
Those yellow Daleas sure have alot going on.
