76

In original you can see how tiny this poor little native bee is. Nothing stands a chance against the small but rapidly swift crab spider that has it in it's grasp.

Excellent details. Very well done. v

This is an artistic design onto itself. The curves of the pistils give it great form.

Phillip Normanton		04-Nov-2010 19:34
Ooh, that's a nasty spider, blending in with the flower like that - you'd hardly call it sport! :o)
