The prettiest Thomisidae I have seen in the flesh.

 

She was right up top of my Butterfly bush and if it was not for the fact that I pulled down a branch to have a look I would have never known.

 

Last year I seen them in white. I never knew they could be this color.

 

 

To gather the images I used manual hand held focus stacking.

 

 

Here are my settings

 

1/80th ||| F11 ||| ISO 200 ||| Flash @ 1/64 +0.4

 

 

I bought her into my living room and made some shots of her. She will be placed back in my garden where I found her.

 

 

I used some purple felt for the background.
