Thats pretty amazing, what kind of spider is that? I don't ever want to see one of those in real life.

It's an Crab spider.This one can slowly camuflage it self to the colors of the flowers.
Thanks Guys.

Nice shots! I was going to remark on how well camouflaged the spider is. Where did you shoot this creature? (geographical location)

These pics i took at the mountain,Agros village (Cyprus) on a side road with a few plants/flowers.
It was the only place i found bees so i only stayed at that place for half an hour or so.
Maybe i will take a trip there this coming weekend...hopefully is still there and see if i can get some better shots.
