Partridge Pea With Matching Spider With Prey © 2009 Daniel W. Reed I have two frames of the spider with no bee then, suddenly, the spider is on a different petal with the bee. Clever of the spider to match the colors of the flower. Note that this is actually a composite of two images. I had two almost identical frames. In one the spider was in fairly good focus and another the head of the bee was in focus. Neither image was very pleasing so I took the head of the bee from one and placed it in the other resulting in a nice image. One way to deal with depth of field. If anyone knows this spider please let me know. Have the word 'photo' in the subject line.
