Anyone know what this little critter is on my pansy?

I don't think I've ever seen a white spider before! So many interesting minibeasts in the garden this year.

Anyone know what it is?

Wow! Watching...

It’s a crab spider

Here’s one in my garden.

Oh brilliant, thank you! MN always comes up trumps

That is a lovely animal!!

Isn't it lovely I'm getting my act together in the garden a bit earlier than usual this year, and really enjoying the profusion of wild flowers and minibeasts this year. My theory is that because councils have let everything go during the pandemic, wild species have run riot in verges and patches of grass/wasteground everywhere, so we're getting things we don't normally see. I have hairy vetch, herb robert, shining cranesbill and garlic mustard in my wildflower garden which I definitely didn't see last year. And yesterday I was treated to the sight of two big shield beetles having it off inside a partially opened apple blossom bud
