ID: Crab spider with cockroach kill
While framing the bees feeding on the yellow trumpet flowers, witnessed something strange in the beautiful pink bloom that was right in the middle bushes. On a second look it seemed like a cockroach levitating, only on close observation I realized a beautifully camouflaged crab spider had caught the mighty pest. The predator was having the heavy breakfast for a long time, almost close to 20-25mins, later again disappearing int he pink foliage of the flower.
EXIF:

Canon 100mm macro
F/11
Shutterspeed 1/125
ISO 400
Handheld, External flash fired
