I hate spiders and I feel sorry for the bee. I know it’s all about the circle of life etc but to end up as a spiders dinner is a bit gruesome. Helen

I’m very fond of spiders, Helen. You obviously didn’t have Charlotte’s Web read to you at a young age? D

Great photograph but the spider looks a bit too smug for my liking. Amelia

I knew the spider wasn’t going to get your vote Amelia, considering what she’s eating. Fairly rare for me to see bees caught by spiders. I have another photo of the spider which shows her eyes and she looks more triumphant than smug. D

Hours and hours and hours. No, not really. Saw the spider as I was watering a potted tree, ran for camera, took half a dozen shots, back to watering. 🙂 Dx
