That's an interesting perspective. I'm glad I don't have to identify this one, I could hardly recognise it :) Posted 12 years ago

  I have a frontal photo of this one as well, but did not post it because it lacks sharpness. However, the front one shows key identification marks, which make me reasonably sure of this identification. Posted 12 years ago

    I'm sure it is, but I was surprised to see my photo on the ID.
    Very nice macro. I love the contrast with the deep green and the little spider hiding behind the flower. Posted 12 years ago
