| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| I found this flower spider (Thomisidae family) to the right on a Donkey Orchid (Diuris longifolia)to left. They are members of the crab spider family but have a habit of hunting on the tops of flowers. This particular species is very commonly found on orchids. |
