[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A young crab spider whit a big prey.

The spider is Thomisus onustus (Walckenaer, 1806) and the prey a Bumblebee (Bombus sp.)

Crab spiders possess potent venoms that quickly immobilize their prey. Their venoms enable them to successfully attack insects much larger than themselves.

Hello Javier and welcome among TN members!
This is very interesting documentary picture! So small spider and so huge prey! Good work! :)
