Super detail. I'd be proud too to have caught such a satisfying dinner.
But fancy having a dinner the same size and yourself. Sometimes I do feel as if I've eaten my own weight in food. Grin

LOL...excellent Grin

Superbly timed captures, Carol, and the crabbie is really pretty, huh?

Now I know that Nature does as Nature will, but I still feel sorry for the poor bee Sad

He's nothing if not ambitious Carol, I guess that will keep him going in food for at least a week, and you have captured the action brilliantly!
