    Spider with wasp

    I haven't been doing much photography lately, but happened to be near by when a wasp flew into the spider's web. Took about three seconds for the spider to make the initial capture. C & C always.

    Outstanding!

    I missed a similar shot of work in progress recently, too busy adjusting the camera.

    Plenty of detail there.

    I have seen it the other way around with wasps attacking spiders; although much small spiders than this one. Also I've seen them chasing away a spider to steal its lunch! They cut through the web and flew away with the spider's prey.

    Nice capture, Dean...I did one with a spider and a bee that got caught in its web but I became too engrossed in watching the process unfold I forgot to adjust my focus...very interesting experience...This image is so much clearer than mine for a longest three miles!
