A magnificent capture of the spider and the hapless bee against the background of a beautiful flower, a fantastic composition!!! VVV

I've watched the crab spider swoop..it's amazingly fast & lethal...go back in 24 hours & they will still be in the same position until every ounce is drained from the victims body!!

Excellent macro...V
