Found this female feeding on a bee in my garden. There were plenty of bees to feed on.

Great photo, Jimmy. I've been watching for Misumena vatia in my own garden for a couple of weeks, but so far, haven't found any. I did find some flower crab spiders yesterday, but they all appear to be other species and were found on dandelions or the flowers of willow.
