I am fascinated with this spider, which has been on the chive plant for several days now. So I did a little web research - which was very creepy! But I found out that it is a very common spider - a crab spider, also called a flower spider. It lives it's life in flowers, and waits for insects to wander perilously close, then, snab! It grabs them with it's long front legs, and proceeds to eat. It can change it's color to camouflage itself - hence the purple stripes. Most common is the white or yellow, but it can have stripes or blobs of any color.
Amy appears befuddled by the shadow - who is that other cat???
