Spider & bee. Not for the squeamish.

I assume you nature lovers can handle the dark side. Crab spiders are pretty tough customers. They hide in flowers and often prey on bees and hornets.

A photo series with rising tension! Well done!
We get taken closer and closer to the crab spider!
And the bees and even HORNETS have no means to fight them?
A sting, for that matter???
Interesting!

Great series... I love spiders and seeing them in action is even better!!

The first one is a little out of focus though, but it still gets the point across.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I rotated the last two. Now you can really see where the "crab spider" name originated.
