Monya and I found this Misumena vatia in our Escondita hedge this morning.We saw one of these flower spiders before, but didn't have a camera. It's also out of place on a bush with red flowers. They usually crouch in a white or yellow flower and snatch a bug that is landing on the flower. She looked a lot cleaner before we got the zoomed in version from the camera, but it is late summer, and she's probably just looking for somewhere to lay her eggs.

Great Shots!
These and the ones with the goldenrod girls in the Great Pumpkin Harvest 2007
Great macros of this spider. She looks kind of like a fancy Easter egg!
