Comments by Gerry Vrbensky on Tue, 08/07/18 16:06 Wow, an amazing shot. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Should be on National Geographics. Comments by slacker on Tue, 08/07/18 19:52 When it comes to webs. Is that spider Bistringual? I like them equal so I don't really care who wins... Comments by S Roter on Thu, 08/09/18 23:02 Thanks for your comments. Thanks Gerry. I sat on the ground in front of a bush. and the spider was right there. So right place and the right time fits this pic perfectly. Donald this spider doesn't use spider web. He hides under petals, and when he attacks he injects poison into his victims, killing them almost instantly. I agree with you Jan, the bees do not have a bright future.
