Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning


September 12, 2015: Looking for White Thomisus guangxicus on a white flower: e.g. Asystasia gangetica

This all started out as an innocent request by Joseph Koh - do you have photos of Thomisus guangxicus showing different colorations depending on background? I sent a few and then he refined his request - what about white on white? So off I went this morning in search of crab spiders - specifically Thomisus guangxicus and then more specifically white on white.
