Wonderful capture, Andrea! :)
Seems like a large spider. Cool capture.
Wow, cool capture!
An excellent capture and would the spider tackle the bee????
You have captured the spiders silk too!!!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
This is a FANTASTIC nature image perfect in every way, I take my hat off to you :)
I whole circus on the flower. Gorgeous image Andrea.
Wonderful focal depth on this image.
A wow shot!
what a meeting, wonderful shot
Another wonderful macro of insect life from your copious garden, Andrea. Two species, feeling each other out, on the brink of a fight-to-the-death confrontation? The voracious snails have turned the unfortunate sunflower into mince meat.
Fabulous and very cool capture
Gorgeous shot with a lot of drama. Lovely composition, colors, and detail. The spider shows up so well against the center of the flower. She has a graceful shape. Very sleek compared to the fuzzy bee.
If I was that bee I'd get outta there quick...what a great capture of this dramatic garden scene!
Be careful where you set you plate Mr Bee or you might be ending up as dinner... Nice shot. Aloha
Very dramatic macro and razor sharp. There doesn't seem to be anything left for the bee so I would suggest it fly away and find someplace safer.
Looks like the Sunflower's good days are all behind her!
Fantastic macro Andrea It looks a bit of a dangerous situation so spill the beans and tell us what happened next.
great shot
This is one fantastic capture girl look at that hairy back on that bee and love that pretty spider.
A wonderful shot, Andrea. Hope the spider is not hungry :)
A spectacular macro capture my friend. I did not know that snails ate sunflower centers. Did the bee survive - I will check your for the next posting since Alan C (Katraz) also asked!
That bee better hightail it outta there!! Terrific shot of what could be a deadly dance.
Lovely photo, lovely spider, and very unlucky bee unless it gets out of there soon!
Fine capture, and that spider is a great contrast on the dark of the sunflower
Uh oh... There is going to be a deadly fight there... Even a flower can be a world... Excellent capture...
Impressive capture.
