Life in a Tulip

The tulips that I planted last year are now beginning to bloom. The last few days I have noticed that this spider is living inside a tulip. Yesterday I watched as she took a fly inside to enjoy later. (Pat even the animals have to bring in the groceries) She is unlike any spider I have seen before and she is so perfectly matched to live in a this tulip that I wonder if she came with the bulbs.

  1. Gotta love the internet! A little research and I found out this gal is a Misumena Vatia.
