This was taken at Morgan Conservation Park north and east of Louisville, KY. I got a whole series of images of this guy with the catch he had all wrapped up. He took it up to some leaves and hid it.

Richard:
The spider in the foreground is nicely captured with good details. Wish the horizontal leaf in the bg wasn't there - probably worth cloning it out to make this good photo great.
