I am not a big fan of spiders and snakes but I don't go out of my way to kill them either. I have however changed my mind on one spider...the Spider Crab. I noticed it last summer and was facinated with it's ability to change colors, the crab like front pinches, ect. But this year I watched as it laid it's self in my rugosa rose bush and started changing to pink. When a bee flew in, it quickly attacked it on the neck despite 3 JP Beetles that were closer. I was mortified as I watched this bee struggle and then slowly go still. I need those bee's to pollenate my flowers and keep the cycle going!
