Just a great shot Marc.

Great capture, I've never seen a spider kill a be before.

You've definitely let us in on the action here! I especially like the incredible detail in the flower's center. Terrific shot.

These spiders amaze me. I can't wait for them to emerge and start hunting for "game" in my flowers.

It's a real killer - the shot, that is.

Incredible macro. I like the yellow flower, it seems a little sun that enlighten the scene. endika

stunning

And what a drama! You made a good capture here Marc! The bee looks just a tad oversharpened though.

Crab spiders are very patient hunters. You captured a great one here.

Great show and an amazing find

I was trying to shot a hornet in a bee hunt. Yes they seem to hunt bees specifically. I saw them searching the meadow and strikes only the bees. Should I tell I was not successful with E-500. Maybe E-3 will be better for that job.
This is very nice macro and a reality of wildlife.

Great macro action. A small scale drama in a well composed photo. Good one, Marc.

I don't know who to cheer for! I don't like being stung or bitten! Maybe with any luck they'll get rid of each other? The wonderful world of things that crawl and buzz. You know, even though the flower is the secondary subject, I just love the detail on the stamens and the pollen.

Breat shoot marc. I would put my money on the spider it looks like the spider has the bee in a head lock. Nice yellows.

Maybe they are old friends, delighted to see each other again. You can invent a complete story around this picture.

Terrific shot Marc, though I'm not sure I would want to be in that confrontation. Who won? :-)
