Description

The crab spider, almost invisible in the blossoming mint, attacked the bee. The struggle was brief, as the spider injected its venom in the bee's neck. Today, the spider scored quite a coup with a kill larger than it. I watched with fascination as this unfolded before me, in our small herb garden. Thank you for the visit, and for any comments you make. A big thanks to all of you who have favorited me or my works.
