Fantastic macro, though a little bit disturbing to watch this poor vicitim's demise. I am quite intrigued by the yellow stripes running down the forelegs. V

Absolutly breathtaking picture, Christine. Wow, and what a drama you captured here. Well that's life, as hard as it might be. You make us aware, what is going on on the Macro-World. Scenes, we wouldn't see otherwise. Thanks so much for giving us these views. Excellently captured. Big V !
