Nice focus on the meal, against a great BG. And BIF as well. :biggrin:

That's a hundred times better than any of my macro stuff, but it looks like it could do with a bit more DoF and the end of its legs. Its very difficult to pick the best focus on such a bulky insect and like I say though I am only jealous. If you have any more wasp-eating spiders, I could with a few hundred over here. I've never seen so many wasps in my life as we have had this year.

Certainly not an image for anyone with a phobia against spiders, that's for sure.
A good behavioural image.

I nice NH image well executed. A tad more DOF would have been nice but at this proximity I know how hard that is..
