Small spiders such as this crab spider (above) sit on the flowers to ambush flying insects attracted to them. Small garden spiders build their webs also amongst the blossom.

Superb macro shots!
Thank you Lotusleaf and thank you for following!
This is such a cool series! Isn't it amazing what's going on on one single flower? For some, this is their entire world.
Thank you Antje. You are right and I miss a few characters, the hoverflies weren't around for once and the photogenic red-tailed bumblebee was missing too.
