The prized catch

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Lynx spider with a catch

Spotted this beauty on top of a flower, generally preferred by butterflies for feeding during the monsoon. Probably due to the continuous downpour there was hardly any butterflies but were filled with bees and flies and probably one of them ended up as the morning meal to the behemoth.

How much of a crop is this? The spider has come out a bit dark. One can see a fly still there on one of the flowers. So this image tells a story. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
