    If you’ve uploaded it to another site like imgbb or catbox.moe imgur you can link it directly in the comment with ![](imageurl)

    Otherwise, check to see if it’s over 4mb or 4000x4000 (iirc)

    ETA: it’s possible they’re the same if not somewhat closely related. I’ve only seen them in tight flowers or clusters before this evening but it’s hard to tell if the petals were closed in some fashion

      Thanks for the tip, here’s another attempt uploading as you suggested:

      This was the first spider like this I’ve noticed in my garden, but it was while I was picking berries in July. I’ll watch the blooms next year. From your other comment I did see a crab spider in my parents garden earlier in the spring, the legs do look similar *Edited with more into

        If you start looking for longer periods of time on any plant, you will see much more animals like spiders (and harvestmen) everywhere! :)
