Lynx spider with winged termite

Today I had been to lalbagh, Shekar (TN member) joined me and we had good oppurtunity to see and capture few good species.
One of them, the lynx spider here with winged termite, my favourite one. Here I used tripod to compose precisely and focus the lynx found under the shadow of a tree but the bright sky gave the soft light. One can see the moisture on the leaf because of the last evenings rain and helped the emergence of winged termites.

Hello Nagraj,
This is a great macro of a Lynx Spider with its termite prey taken with excellent sharpness and use of ambient light. The POV is superb and the neutral BG sets it off nicely.
A very fine macro and thanks for sharing it,

Hoe exciting to see this pair - well, not for the poor winged termite though. Size doesn't matter - the spider will usually win.
Very good sharpness and focus Nagraj
BRAVO!
