This afternoon I went looking for yesterday's crab spider to see if I could get a better shot to show its size. I was surprised to find it had caught a bee which was about twice as big as it was!

About five minutes later lots of little black flies came swarming in - possibly the ":vultures" of the insect world?

The extraordinary world of nature. Its great what a camera takes us to see. I am trying to imagine the battle between little yellow crab and the bee. What a drama. Great shots Jet.

Perhaps nature doesn't care?

Wow, these are great shots. The spider crab needs to hurry and eat his catch if he wants all the best bits!

Amazing! That is really a spider?!? I have never seen one before, and it's quite interesting it catched a bee that large. Great captured!
