Yellow Crab Spider

I found this crab spider in the top leaves of a branch and took it as flower at the first sight. But watching carefully I found that it is yellow crab spider (Thomisus spectabilis), also called flower spider or flower crab spider.

    Awesome photos! Is the second photo of it on a finger tip? The black background really makes it pop!
