My very first flower crab spider !!!
I spotted this very unexpected find on the hollyhock flower above the one the pollinated bumble bee was sitting in. Whilst trying to avoid my attentions the spider eventually climbed down to same flower the bee was still sitting in. To avoid the spider eating the bee I moved the bee to my potentilla bush.

I'm happy for you!
Lovely images.
They will often hide around the back of the petals if they see you approaching.

Thanks all for the congrats and kind comments - appreciated.
I'd given up ever finding one of these spiders in my garden so it took some time for me to realise what it was.
