    I planted some scabiosa a while back to encourage the bees, who turned their noses up and ignored it.

    Today however I noticed this little guy enjoying what it had to offer, it was there for about 30 mins jumping from flower to flower.

      I found this tiny Crab Spider on a Hellenium, the flowers are red so it will need to do some colour change if it's going to catch anything.
