Great shot of this spider (I don't know the ID either) with such big pray - must be food enough for several days here.

Actually there are some more details in the picture than shown in your post which will be visible if you brighten up the middle tones using the curves in PS. I would have posted a WS to show but I reached my limit for to-day.

Great macro Ricardo.
Very unique picture, with good details and colours.
Agree with Mogens to bright it up.
Very well done.

Love these spider with prey captures Ricardo. A unique capture & very noteworthy. The spider is a crab spider, Family Thomisidae, possibly Misumena vatia, not sure. Thanx for posting this!!

This shot remains me circus when one man is holding his co-partner on rope in mouth :-) Superbly spotted and captured Ricardo!

Ricardo, I think it belongs to the family Thomisidae (crab spiders). I could not ID the exact species, but I think you could have a look at the flower crab spiders (Thomisus) or grass crab spiders (Runcinia).

The closest genus I found looking like yours, was Misumenops.

Oh yess, this is the type of shot that makes me smile... big time! Fantastic shot!

Ricardo, que fantástica captura. Mais um grande momento publicado por você, que tem um talento fabuloso para fotografar a interação que os insetos realizam uns com os outros.

Nitidez, profundidade de campo e composição estão perfeitas.

Gracias por las escenas que estas compartiendo ultimamente, realemente se nota que estás tirando de esas pequeñas joyas escondidas en tu disco duro. Creo que se podría mejorar algo con regulacion de curvas o saturaciones, pero es una opinion totalmente personal. Tus fotografias tienen un sello puy propio con unas saturaciones e iluminaciones que podría distinguir entre un millón. Yo para ser sincero, tengo dos versiones, las que publico, y las que guardo para mi. Si publicara estas ultimas, seguro que recibiría muy pocos votos :DDD

Grande foto Ricardo!!! No momento certo, acho que um pouco de flash teria ajudado.
Parabéns, abraço, Luís

Hello Ricardo,
A fantastic picture. A scene not normally seen by most of us. Thanks for showing this hunter and hunted. The spider looks like a crab spider to me. This spider seem to have big appetite and very strong to catch an over sized prey.
