Picture of the Day

We found this wonderful science lesson outside on one of my Mom's Iris. This spider had adapted it's colors to white and pink to blend in with the shade and colors of the iris. (If he didn't adapt then he had some superior knowledge of where he was supposed to live.) Then, this unsuspecting honey bee flew in to get some nectar and was captured by said spider. We came in at dinner time; the spider didn't appreciate the flash photography so he dragged his kill underneath the petals for more privacy. It was a great learning experience for the girls.
