Grass-of-Parnassus (Parnassia grandifolia)

macro, native plants
A crab spider (Mecaphesa asperata) waits in ambush for an insect to visit what is arguably one of the most beautiful native flowers in Missouri. Photographed in St. Francois County, Parnassia grandifolia is typically found in high-quality calcareous fen habitats.
