Ok, I admit it – I’m a sucker for crab spiders.

A crab spider on Flodman’s thistle (Cirsium flodmanii) at the Helzer family prairie. July 2014.
As much as I enjoy looking at prairie flowers, I enjoy them even more when there’s a crab spider lying in wait among their petals. I must have more than a hundred photos of crab spiders on flowers, but when the lighting is good and I see those long hairy legs and cute little face… I just can’t help myself!
Do you suppose I need some kind of intervention?
“Hi, my name is Chris Helzer and I really like crab spiders.” (Hi Chris…)
“It’s been three weeks since I last photographed a crab spider…” (Applause)
