John:
A very excellent capture. Yes, the table is certainly turned for this Robber which is normally the aggressor. The depth of focus is fabulous. You are a master with stack on moving object

Robbers are usually the baddest bug on the block. Interesting to see the tables turned.

Hi john, I posted a white spider on a yellow flower on the 3rd of July. Do you think that is also a type of crab spider? Just wondering because I couldn't find anything in my google image search. Nice capture too. Both subjects are tact sharp.
