Excellent John
There is barely a fight with those Crab Spiders they just go for the kill and usually get it right the first time.
You very fortunately to be finding them to photograph,

:skippy Everyone has the right to be stupid, but some people just abuse the privilege :dgrin
Spiders inject a paralyzing toxin and enzymes into the victim. The toxin shuts down respiration, and the enzyme breaks down the soft tissues so the spider can drink them like a shake. It really creeps me out as I'm walking away form a scene like that one... :help

I've watched as a crab spider turned the victim so it could be bitten in different areas. I've got several shots of the same spider but with the bee in different "poses" -creepy... :help
I scare away more than I shoot -very skittish most of the time. Thanks for the props! :cool
