Spider and Bee

A lynx spider, Oxyopes gracilipes female with what I think is a NZ native bee. The bee is much smaller than a honeybee at about 1cm long. In large you can see the pollen she has collected on her back leg. The mousy little face on the spider is just the top of her head. Her mouth is below, on the neck of the bee.

No prizes for guessing that the flower is a Californian poppy.
