Goldenrod Crab Spider Phone Cases - iPhone and Android

A green veined white butterfly feeds on the pollen created by this blossoming dandelion ~ now that the grasses are permitted to grow - more and more are seen on grassy areas in parklands around UK... a very dandy situation indeed... but unknowingly to this butterfly a predator lies in the midst - an adult goldenrod crab spider looms out from the back of this dandelion to see what is rustling - before considering its attack ! It's a female, with a darker colour smaller male hiding in the greenery. Nice find!
