“Incy wincy spider climbed up the waterspout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out,
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So Incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again.”
Well…..Incy was not found by the waterspout but was camouflaged on a lavender. What an amazing find by my wife while visiting with friends. I had to bring Incy home and set up some studio lighting to be able to show off her beauty.
Thanks to my friends for helping me to identify Incy. She is known as a Crab Spider. Incy and her friends do not spin webs, but catch their prey with those extra long front legs as they are ambush hunters.
