Rewilding My Lot

I try to have my phone within reach when I’m gardening, because I never know when I might see something interesting. If I can get a photograph, then that will often help with identification (usually with the help of the iNaturalist app).

One day I needed extra help from my phone. I am near-sighted and I saw something that looked like a random yellow flower that had fallen onto the leaf of another plant, but the blurry thing looked strange and I couldn’t figure it out.

So I took a photo and zoomed in on the image. What I had thought was a flower was actually a Northern Crab Spider enjoying a nice fly meal.
