Trapped

Not the most pleasant of photos but this Goldenrod Crab Spider has caught its prey and there is no escape.

Such beautiful colours for a “murder scene”! 😉

Wow! I was just teaching my students about crab spiders this past week! I'll have to show them this photo! :)

What an incredible close up. I absolutely love it even if it is a little sad.

Fabulous close up, that's mother nature doing her thing.

Great close up. Beautiful shot of nature. Running away would mean abandoning the victim. The spider has already released the venom and will sucked lymph out in a moment. Then he will leave the victim.
