This Northern Crab Spider (Misumenops asperatus) has captured a honey bee 3 times its size on this wild rose flower and is having a mega lunch complete with a sprinkling of tiny pollen grains. 40D, Canon 100 mm f/2.8 macro, 1/250, f/16, ISO 100, macro twin flash (diffused), hand held. I cleaned up some imperfections in the flower and cropped for composition. All comments are welcome and appreciated.
Agree with everyone else. Think the square format works well here.
Thanks for sharing...

Yousa, but that's an awesome image! You got a great HA on the spider and the bee and you did it while including a beautiful flower! Awesome exposure and wonderful detail, Steve. This really tells a story and does it very well.
All I know is that crab spiders must have some powerful venom...to drop a honey in its tracks is remarkable. This is an excellent find and you captured the scene very well. The details on the spider is very nice!
