[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My posting yesterday showed a hoverfly on a daisy, with a spider hiding under one of the petals. I was asked by a fellow member to post a shot showing this species of spider. I think this shot should fulfill that request and a promise I made to another member earlier this week.
PS - afew months ago I had posted a shot of this spider taken from a different angle.

Thanks, Mark. You have now brought out the climax scene in its full glory!
Embrace or kiss of death? Both expressions would fit here.
But true to the melodramatic tradition, the "victim" is a different one in this scene!
Great macro, perfect in every respect.
Thanks again.

Hi Mark,
wow this spider is well camoulflaged matching the same color as the flower. Great timing on your part to catch this dramatic event. POV, colors and sharpness are ecxellent.
Great shot.
TFS..Sky

Hello Mark!
Great moment with a great pov here! We can see all the spider and the poor fly. Very hard bite on the nape! With a flower great composition also! You know what! i don't know why but i noticed that your colours on your photos a little bit dull! If you solve this colouration, you will have extremely great gallery! Thank you and best regards!
