Even spiders have to eat! A brilliant capture, the details are amazing - as is the colour of the spider!

At first glance I didn't realise it was a spider, what a capture for you and the spider. Shame about the bee.

"ChiliMan says WOW"...that's what my User Award says but I don't have it to give to you right now, so this'll have to do.

In my opinion, this is worthy of an HC or an EC. Both Vs 1 and 3, actually.

Bravo, Carol.
