Spotted these on the coneflowers. The spider was pretty much ignoring the bee due to size I think, and waiting for something a little smaller.

Beautiful shots! Looks like the bee could just step on that spider.

Thank you! Yep, the bee was twice the size of the spider.

Very nice shots, love the colour and detail - those spider legs - must be awkward walking?!
