Original - A female Goldenrod Crab Spider (Misumena vatia) capturing a bee (cf. Andrena sp.). Notice the perfect colour match (mimicry) between the spider and the flower. Spiders usually inject the venom at the back of the victim's head, where the nerves are concentrated.
Reason
High quality and detailed action shot illustrating the mimicry capacity of the species.
