This little spider is about a half inch across from leg tip to leg tip. I was surrounded by dozens of bees when I shot this. Neither the bee nor I was intimidated. I think if I don't move suddenly I'm fine. Maybe I'm naive! (It's sitting on a garlic chive blossom. Garlic chives generously reseed themselves and make a beautiful ground cover, as well as provide tasty accents for food.)

What a strange little spider and those garlic flowers are lovely! I hope those weren't African bees, I just saw a program on them saying they are gradually spreading around the country!
