The "meal" is far bigger than the spider!! Excellent close-up shot of this rather unusual phenomenon Christian.

This is amazing, such a well timed shot, your keen eye spotted a great and unusual lens capture. Bravo I think you should go to the head of the class for this one. tigs=^..^=

Wow what great timing for this shot Christian but the prey looks larger than the spider!

Very cool shot Christian - that bee most likely was looking for a sip of nectar but became the main course for the spider - Great Capture!!!!!!!

Think over how many millennia this scene has played out and we shouldn't be surprised when we come across it. Fine picture, great colours, fascinating detail.

Never under estimate spiders in their ability to take down prey. Nice close up
