, 1/8 f/8.0, ISO 100, hand held.

Scattata in posizione un po' precaria poggiando la fotocamera su un ginocchio. Non potendo fare stacking o comunque posizionarmi decentemente, ho cercato di mettere a fuoco sugli occhi. Piccolo esemplare di Thomisus onustus (Ragno granchio o ragno camaleonte) Questo simpatico (quanto spietato) ragno è in grado di assumere, dopo qualche giorno, il colore del fiore che lo ospita, mimetizzandosi e catturando prede che spesso sono molto più grandi di lui. Edit: L'esemplare è una femmina di Micrommata virescens. Grazie a Claudio L.

The photo I do not mind, but the name of the species is wrong, because you have not photographed a spider Thomisidae, but rather a Sparasidae (female) called:
Micrommata virescens (Clerck, 1757)
Hello. Claudio

Uh! You're right! I got confused with another shot, in which there is actually a thomisus onostus! Thanks for pointing that out!

One last thing Giancarlo, when you write the scientific name (binomy nomenclature) of a living being, whether it be an animal or vegetable, the name of the species (Virescens/onustus) should always be written in lowercase!

Come on! I did not know, as you may have noticed is a world I do not know. Thanks for the information.
