I was just drifting around the garden, camera in hand, this afternoon when I found these two creatures occuping the same flower. The tiny little one (just a few millimeters long) sat inside the flower head of a wild carrot (Queen Anne's Lace) plant, while the larger (about 4 centimeters long) seemed to be defending the exterior. I wonder if they are the same species. It seems likely since they were sharing the same space peacefully and its not uncommon in the spider world to find a female spider that is much larger than its male counterpart. Makes you wonder what life's like for him though, doesn't it?
