Feeding Frenzy! Was happy to find this Bird Dung's Crab Spider feeding on a Stink Bug (Dalpada oculata) and didn't noticed the other tiny bugs on it until I review my pics at home. Also joining the feast were several tiny flies (with red eyes), one of them can be clearly seen in the picture, very fat. And on the Spider, there was a Biting Midge (with pink wings).
