Saw this spider on a plant we purchased from the Sunday Market, can anybody identify it for me? Taken using 60mm micro, hand held.

Ok -I'm going to stick my neck out here .... (it will probably be cut off by Blacknstormy when she comes on line and tells me I'm a complete idiot! ).... but....

I think it's what's commonly known as a flower spider (!). Family Thomisidae, Diaea species. These spiders commonly live on garden flowers, are quite often white or yellow in colour, and have spiny legs like your specimen.

It's a yellow bellied sap sucker

You don't mean the Sulfur Crested Sap Sucker do you Cyril ?


Ah to have comedy like the Naked Vicar Show again.
