I'm pretty sure the first two is a Halloween Pennant. First shot is a lucky snapshot. I had my eye off the viewfinder, when I saw her turn from a side profile into the wind for take off, and only got one non-cropped shot off.

Unfortunately for this guy, he's has a load of mites under his midsection.

    Wonderful series of shots
    Wonder if that's an "albino" ambush bug or can they change colour like the flower crab spiders.

    Thanks Brian
    I have many shots of Ambush Bugs from years past on all different colored flowers,
    and never have I seen them change colors so dramatically to match the flower.
    I will admit to ever so slightly underexposing the 'bug' here just to get more detail into the shot, she was a brighter white
    than what I've shown here. This is the first albino I've seen.

    Thanks for commenting.
