Dinner Time

[jgs001]

I spotted something odd and took a look. The fly was hanging in the web and the spider was crawling around on it. The spider was only about 8mm long including the legs.

Taken using my 55-250 with Raynox DCR250 and home made flash ring adapter with my 300AFD

Thanks for looking, C&C always welcome.

Not that I could tell... at least it wasn't moving...

Nice shots John (if somewhat gross )

I wonder how long that keeps the spider fed ?

Cheers John... it's just nature... and nature can be quite gross I guess...

Not that's an interesting question.

Once it's got the fly nicely wrapped up it can suck its innards out................

Great shots........that DIY flash adapter of yours really does the biz

Eeeeeeuuuuurrrrrggghhhhh
I've got a bit of a phobia about spiders and those shots have definitely given me the shivers - lovely and sharp and clear.
I could almost say too clear. I can actually see more than I think I really want to

Thanks for the embellishments on the detail Keith ..

Cheers, the flash I have limits it's use to dim lighting conditions only, the flash has no control, but....
