And another for ceridwen!

This time it is Thomisus onustus on Tradescantia pallida. The spider (thomisus) can change colour to match the plant on which they are waiting for prey in order to be less visible. So this one is either not hungry, an exhibitionist or stupid. Either way it would have been most welcome at my purple and yellow wedding. The plant (tradescantia) is amusingly also known as spiderwort.
This time last year I was posting my camera to Japan while Spousie was having surgery.
