Fly vs Nigma walckenaeri

in #hive-159662 years ago

When i walked in the garden this morning i could hear the fly trying to escape from the web, it took me a while to find it in the ivy hedge.

When i came close i spotted something what looked like a green crabspider ,or even a cucumber green spider but it turned out to be a Nigma Walckenaeri .

First encounter for me and also for the fly it seems :)
The Nigma Walckenaeri i've spotted is according to wikipedia 5mm long and a female.

you can see the green small spider slightly out of focus in the bokeh

my guess is it bites the fly with venom

looks like a big catch for such a small spider

looks like the wings were damaged on escape atempts

hard to tell if it's dead already or just paralized by the venom

Spider hiding for thing with big lights [ that would be me ]

she is really hard to spot if you don't know where to look

looks like it died after all

dinner served for the Nigma spider

Although she still is in her hiding place

still not moving

and there comes the appetite

big meal for a small spider

FRIENDS THESE Flies ARE VERY POISONOUS AND AWFUL THEY ARE VERY RARE YOU HAVE BEEN TOO HARD TO COLLECT THESE PICTURES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY AND BLOG GIFT

These flies are very common during the summer in Europe , the spider how ever is harder to find :) thank you for visiting

There is beauty even in the demise of things. I use that phrase a lot lately, it must be the time of the year.

I like the softness of the shots but clearly focused on the matter at hand.:) Great shots, Mick.

Thank you Denise , although i do make flower shoots every now and then with the same kind of magnification

You do! Yes! But they are not eating other plants. :)
