Conchidium pusillum from wild in Hong Kong.

Widespread from NE India to China and Indochina.

Really very beautiful ..., spider a casual visitor or pollinator?

Enjoyed all your posts..

Good question sir ji.

Spider is sitting there, but why if it is not a pollinator?

Answer is FOOD. Because it knows that insect will come to visit the flower so it is waiting for it’s food to come!!
