Like a Rock

The rock purslane (Calandrinia grandiflora) attracts its share of insects.

This morning the brilliant magenta blossoms drew honey bees, carpenter bees and hover flies. 

As a hover fly (aka syrphid fly or flower fly) gathered nectar, a spider crawled up a leaf of the succulent, presumably to check out the best place to weave a web.

The rock purslane is drought-tolerant and a good plant for xeroscaping.

And perfect for attracting pollinators--and an occasional spider.
