This is my favorite spider photograph I have taken. This is a White Crabspider on a Purple Flower. I was in Troy Texas visiting family. I noticed that almost all of the purple flowers had these tiny White Crabspiders on them. I got my macro lens and started taking photographs.
These tiny arachnids wait on the flowers for other insects to land. When they land the spiders grab them and eat them. I don't believe these spiders spin any sort of web. I never saw any webs around any of the spiders.
These photographs were taken on a Canon 5D Mark II camera using a Sigma 180mm lens and a Canon MT-24EX twin flash unit. No tripod was used.
