This is a wonderful macro John. Spider is a Misumena vatia
They dont usually hunt Robber flies as their technique relies on the flying insect arriving at the flower to pollinate. Guess it was lucky
Lovely natural light. Not sure if you used a flash on this or not but looks great

Aside from needing a bit more room above this is quite excellent. Great d-o-f and I love the action even though it is not real fast action :)
