Photo: Blossom Spider Apricot Trees South Tyrol
This blossom spider seems to be checking out the pollen from the flower on the Apricot trees in Unterinnerhof in the South Tyrol, Italy.
The little spider visits the fully open blossom on the Apricot trees in Unterinnerhof in the South Tyrol in Italy. The stamens of the flower are loaded with pollen, so the insect will probably transfer some to another location after finishing up on this flower.As the spider tries to reach the center of the blossom, he spins his web starting at one side of the petal and working in various directions, eventually creating a place to hold onto. The green backside on this spider, makes it near impossible to see these insects as they are camouflaged by their colors and the inner sections of the Apricot blossom.
