Game over

Sometimes, it is the flower that gets bitten by the visitor.  Other times, it is the visitor that gets bitten.

A small crab spider eats a fly on a wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa) flower.
After searching hundreds of flowers, I was excited not only to see my first crab spider in Germany, but also to find it complete with prey.  However, since I realize that not everyone feels that a spider improves a flower, here is a view of some of those that were spider-free.

A patch of wood anemones (Anemone nemorosa) where just a few days ago I had only seen dry leaves.
