'Bon appatite'. :biggrin: Great behavioural image, although the spider's meal appears slightly dark on my monitors.

Cracking shot John and the repost is even better, is this in your garden, if so, then I'm so envious, it's the one spider I would like to see and photograph.

Hi Andy
Thanks. Its in a meadow (or was) just outside the garden and another about 200yards away., and they seem to be always on ox eye daisy but they must use other stuff when that's over..If the weather picksupI'll have another look and send you an E mail.
Cheers
John

Wonderful! These are common here too in California and Oregon, but I can't get a shot anywhere close to this.
You guys on this forum post some amazing shots! I am a fan!!

excellent shot John, the repost edges it but not by much. Like Andy, I've been looking for these for some time and always check every oxeye daisy that I find - I've still never seen one!
