i see... today's pic of the twin ixoras, initially i thought they were some toys or something. good job in turning everyday ixoras into cute alien like er "things", like the curly twirly antennae on top.

some info gathered ...

Flowers exhibit characteristics through which they exploit the sensory biases of pollinating insects, and both signaler and receiver benefit from this interaction, either through reproductive service or food reward. However, the preferences of pollinators for certain flower traits such as color or odor might be exploited by predators that target pollinating insects.

Crab spiders, Thomisus spectabilis, position themselves on flowers to prey on pollinators. These Flower Spiders each takes a flower as its hunting territory and waits on the petals, anchored by its hind legs and pedipalps extended. An insect visiting the flower for pollen or nectar is seized and bitten, then sucked dry.
