[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Small crab spider doubtless knocked from its white host flower. First one I have seen in Mauritius This picture brings out the pattern on the back as well as the two dark spots.

The TG-5 in microscope mode works very well. Because the spider is white and in sunlight the body is completely white, with none of the patterning visible, in the majority of the shots.

A beautiful click of such species that mixes two, crab and spider. By photographic point of view adding a bit contrast could bring more of its beauty.
