Said the Spider to the Fly.

[Grumpy John]

Great detail in this image Kevin. Has the spider bitten off more than he can swallow?

[kevinj]

She didn`t let go until she finished it.

[Isac]

Lovely detail and well displayed Kevin. Herculean effort by the spider, they seem to take on rather difficult tasks.

[kevinj]

You`ve got to love their tenacity.

[HansE]

Good one . It has come out well. Wouldn't want to meet one a foot tall.

[kevinj]

Might help with some of the feral animals roaming around.

Excellent macro photo. Is that a crab spider of sorts? I think they just suck the fluids out of their prey......:-(

[kevinj]

We call them Lynx spiders and yes they suck them dry.

[wigz]

Excellent colour, lighting and detail Kevin, and having the prey makes it much more interesting.

I think it is a type of Lynx spider going by the spines on the legs and eye arrangement. These hunt their prey rather than building a web and waiting. As mark said spiders basically liquify their prey and suck up the liquid.

[kevinj]

It is a Lynx,get a lot around here but most are not so brightly coloured.

[MJ224]

Hmmm, Fly soup. Tasty..

[Phill104]
