Description

This is another of the Yellow spider!
This is actually my Yellow Spider, she’s a Misumera vatia. A common garden spider that does not make webs to hunt! She just lurks around a hides waiting for other insects to pass by, she then bites them and injects poison to paralyse them. After that she just starts eating them!!!
This Photo shows the bee she had for lunch! I have her in an aquarium and I put bees and fly’s there everyday so that she can hunt them down!
What I liked in this photo was the fur look a like on the bee! She looks like a furry animal.
I’ve desaturated the BG a bit and I tried to focus the bee showing also the spider. If you have a look at the larger version you will see what I mean with fur look a like!!
I would love to read your comments!
