It’s very hard to spot these guys, I’m glad I managed to catch it and share it with you all.

Wow, so cool!!
I just read in this fantastic book that many of the spiders “hiding” in flowers are actually brightly UV colored and even attract pollinators by giving the flower some extra shine. It may often seem to us like they blend in (because we cannot see UV light) but they might do something entirely different!
That’s neat! I’ll be taking the uv flashlight out tonight to see if I can find spiders fluorescing like hornworms do and will report back
Ooh nice, would be nice if you could report back if you find anything :)
