A Comb Footed Spider, Enoplognatha ovata makes a meal out of a small fly. To give an idea of scale, the flower that acts as a stage for this scene is smaller than a 1p coin.

Great photos! Apparently "tis the season" ... today I watched a moth get caught in a web, the spider quickly came in for the kill.... yuck! DancingDolphin · 2012-06-26: 22:03
