This little fellow was sunning himself in a verbena seedhead:

Thank you both. It was very small, could have overwintered there. Glad I left all the stalks on - hoping for seeds to scatter.

I love these strangely shaped and oddly coloured spiders yet somehow I never see them or photograph them. Your pic has inspired me to a determination to locate and photograph them this year - so flower and seed heads here I come!
