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

If you’ve uploaded it to another site like imgbb or
catbox.moeimgur you can link it directly in the comment withOtherwise, check to see if it’s over 4mb or 4000x4000 (iirc)
ETA: it’s possible they’re the same if not somewhat closely related. I’ve only seen them in tight flowers or clusters before this evening but it’s hard to tell if the petals were closed in some fashion
Thanks for the tip, here’s another attempt uploading as you suggested:
This was the first spider like this I’ve noticed in my garden, but it was while I was picking berries in July. I’ll watch the blooms next year. From your other comment I did see a crab spider in my parents garden earlier in the spring, the legs do look similar *Edited with more into
If you start looking for longer periods of time on any plant, you will see much more animals like spiders (and harvestmen) everywhere! :)
Catbox should honestly really be avoided. It’s blocked for such a huge range of users unless they use either a non-default DNS or a VPN (depending on which specific block they’re behind).
This includes all users in Australia, the UK, and Ireland. American customers of Comcast, Verizon, and Spectrum and Canadian customers of Rogers. And any user who has their DNS set to the popular alternate DNS of Quad 9.
If uploading photographs in particular, it also does not remove EXIF or other metadata, which may expose GPS location or other potentially sensitive information to everyone.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I was unaware. I’ve seen it recommended elsewhere so was rotating it into the parent comment, one I make from time to time as Beehaw’s settings for pictrs can trip folks up occasionally.
Yeah it’s unfortunate because it’s a useful site. You can see more detailed explanations on their FAQ page. Most of the reasons for its blocking are pretty dumb, but that doesn’t matter much to the people who try to click a link and have it not work.
