Sorry, I didn’t read the guidelines. My bad.

Don't worry about it this time, but David's image showing a captive bird, with strings attached, literally :), is not a nature image. Would have been fine for a Nature Unlimited Friday thread if we continue those.

Bing,

Love this image, BUT I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm looking at. :)

Thanks, Rod. Yes, it is a bit difficult to make out because much of the action is covered by the dandelion petals. It is a crab spider with its captured prey, probably a bee whose abdomen and one wing is visible.

That was actually my assessment, but I wanted to hear it from the person who was there. The spider must not suffer significant consequences of being stung, which I assume would have happened. Very nice capture.
