Hi Pankaj,

It amazes me that you could even have spotted this. Fascinating picture - a quick glance and it just looks like a pretty butterfly and pretty flower.

Hello Pankaj,

Wonderful capture of this Predator with the prey. BG and colors very good. Posture of the butterfly gives the tell tale of the hunt. Fine details and color with soft BG.TFS
The bigger prey is obvious for the hunter than the smaller ant.

Hi Pankaj,
Thus is a wonderful shot. A crab spider with its prize. Sharp focus and well exposed image. Good use of flash to reveal minor detail. Very well done.

The predator at its cleverest best, Pankaj. The blighter is so well hidden iside the flower even I can't locate it clearly.
Great image of this dramatic moment from nature's endless games. The butterfly looks pretty even in the grip of death.
Well done and TFS.

Isn't nature a curious and wonderful thing? Even being told what this is it is still a visual challenge. nature in some cases has a way of protecting some and others not...all in it's own way and time. A super capture Pankaj. I like this one especially. It makes one have to actually study the picture. A cursory glance will not suffice! Fine image!

Ciao Pankaj,
un'immagine splendida pur nella sua drammaticità.
Lo sfondo omogeneo e scuro contribuisce in maniera perfetta a concentrare l'attenzione sul primo piano e sui tenui colori del fiore e delle ali del lepidottero.
Grazie,
Marcello

Hi Pankaj.
How this world is rigid. I've never seen such scenes (with butterflies). But picture is great as well as the superb is the flash work.. Sharpness of the entire image is terrific. Colours are wonderful too. Well done and TFS.
