Today on a walk, my coworker spotted a dead bee in a white thimbleberry flower. “It looks like it’s stuck!” she said as she looked closer.
I knew the cause without even looking, so I pulled the flower close and pointed into the flower for her to take a closer look.
There it was. She jumped back completely startled. It was a goldenrod crab spider in its white form (with pink abdominal stripes) firmly attached to its prey.
