This is a Yellow Crab Spider that looks to have been eating very well with the amount of debris all over the flower. Spotted this spider while on one of our summer walks through Owl Woods.

Wow! A pretty spider indeed!

This little guy flew in front of us while we were hiking out back with the dogs this afternoon. I never get tired of watching them.
