Too much of a camouflafe...Yellow wall, red -yellow flower and yellow Spider.
There was no time to change the position ,since spider was dragging the bee upwords very fast.I could manage to take tow pictures.Picture is cropped.
Canon450D+100-400mm.
f:6.3.
Exposure:1/320.
ISO:200.
The vertical composition is nice. The plain wall offers a nice clean background. You could have increased the ISO for a higher aperture. Nice action captured. Thanks for sharing.
Nice action.. rare to see....TFS
Nice. Agree about the aperture. A less bright BG would have been nice. It is a Crab Spider.
Agree with the previous comments. Good one. Great that you could click it in time. This was in your home? Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful moment , nicely captured. Liked the extended sting of the bee with the little drop stuck to it. I think a little more space at the top would be nice to emphasize the strength of the spider silk.
naiice.... great timing n composition
what is that droplet on the bee sting?? is tat it's poison?
very clear, symbolic too
Nitin: It is possible, though a little far-fetched for the droplet to be poison. Bee's sting is designed to be inserted and then breaks off, practically killing the bee due to torn abdomen. There is constant release of toxins from it after that. So my guess is that the design is to insert the sting first and not really push venom first.
it is not like snake fangs where droplets of poison come on the tip of the hypodermic-syringe-like fangs.
However, a bit of it leaks out too, as the canal is made of 2 parts rubbing against each other.
This is gyaan from Nat Geo... :001_tongue:

Lovely image. The sting is visible. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
