Crab spiders are small, but they build good-sized webs. They’re also not territorial, which means they’re fine having other crab spiders for neighbors. When there’s a lot in one area, walking around becomes a bit of a challenge. I’ve wrapped webs around my head so many times it’s amazing I haven’t turned into a spider myself!

I was hiking the 1871 trail, south of Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, when I saw these goats scrambling down a rocky slope. I thought they matched the terrain well.

A Long-tailed Blue Butterfly on what I think is a rattlepod, one of the Crotileria family. The Long-tailed Blue is common in Hawaii having been accidentally introduced back in the 1880s.

I was photographing this green anole on a ti leaf when an ant appeared on the scene. The anole gave it the ‘Is that a snack?’ look, but decided that maybe that wasn’t a good idea. Some ants are not good eating.
The anole resumed keeping an eye on me, while the ant meandered around getting closer. At one point, the ant bumped into the anole’s foot and the anole flinched and yanked its foot away, as a person might do.
Following that incident, the anole began a half-hearted sequence of displaying its dewlap to show that this was his territory, but it seemed more aimed at wishing I would go away rather than doing anything about it!
You know the expression, ‘You look like a ….’ Well, as a public service, this is what the real thing looks like. I almost bumped into it on my swim yesterday!
