This is a good example of an image where 80% of the effort is actually spotting the subject in the first place. I didn't see the spider at first. My attention was grabbed by the unusual attitude of the bee, and closer examination showed that it had been caught by a crab spider (Misumena species) which was lurking in the flower ready to pounce. These spiders can change colour to match their surroundings and is very well camouflaged in the yellow buttercup. Execution of the photograph was straightforward as the light was good and the subject static. Olympus OM4Ti on a tripod, 50mm macro lens. |
