Description


This is no crab spider, since I promised not to show you any more, at least for a while. "The fight" was rather unilateral; the shieldbug was inactive. The spider, however, could not bite it (shields may be useful even today) and finally dropped it. The quality of this slide-based image has its weeknesses, but I hope you find the scene interesting.

Heroic! What a marvellous catch you (both) made here! The photo shows how much the spider would like to hang on to its prize. That's a super coloured body, I've not seen that one.

May be an Eresus species, but I am not sure. If so, it can only be Eresus cinnabarius (sorry, I don't know the English name), because this is the only representative of the family Eresidae. Probably male. Thanks for viewing! Kind greetings, Lorand
