      Is that a crab spider? It seems outrageously big!
      Nice shot, it looks as if a confrontation followed

      Yeah it's a crab spider, i think!

      As i said in the next pic of this series the ending was tragic and gruesome for the small bug. :)

      Yup crab spider. I just uploaded a few of similiar style. I wasn't lucky enough to get anything like this! Great situation captured!

      Thanks Brian. Your spider's are simply amazing, am a fan. :)

      Am 100% sure that if you were a bit more patient you could capture a scene like this, after all that's what these spiders do, camouflage on a flower and wait. This particular spider had a bug sit on it's flower every 5 minutes!

      Funny shot. Not exactly what you'd call a Mexican standoff!
