      Thanks, the sun was almost setting and my camera performs rather poorly at low light so I am really happy with this result. It gives a different shade of green to the grass in the background. I've cropped this one to get it off the center. Posted 9 years ago

    Lovely! Quite remarkable the size of prey these little spiders can take. Love the little ants in there too!
