Wow! Great capture! A spider catching another insect on top of a caterpillar. All of them in good focus. A difficult exposure given the tonality of spider and the caterpillar.

John this is great, I wonder if the fly was parasitising the caterpillar and then got his comeuppance? Great image very well seen. I strongly suspect you would make a great photoguide out there in Ithica.
