Description
It is always amazing what there is to see on one blade of grass
Not a spectacular photo but it is a very small part of the centre of the original.
Another for my 'content over quality' folder.

and there will be way more critters, as the spider is carrying her babies in the whitish green ball
They are both thinking, "What were the rest of the words again to that poem with the phrase, '...said the Spider to the Fly'"? (I hope the fly remembers before the spider does!) Excellent and unusual capture!
OOOh hope the fly wasn't lunch???
Mortal enemies and it looks like the spider has a young sac.
A fly with a death wish, now there's "Content over quality" :)
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Fantastic shot. Superb details.
Is this a secon d before the strike?
'He's BEHIND you'!
Indeed under different circumstances that fly would have been lunch but she has other matters to attend to at that time. Great observation and shot.
interesting and I would assume, unique capture in that they are 'ignoring' each other
“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly, 'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there.” ~ Mary Howitt (in case Rachris reads this) I always wondered what that parlor looked like. Not super sharp but unique in that, as Mike observed, they appear to be ignoring each other. A stunning capture.
It's a hairy bit of grass they're cohabiting upon...great capture!
What a fine shot this is, catching both on the same leaf :-)
It looks like the spider is pulling an egg sac and that may be the only reason that the fly lives for another day!
Good to see one insect on a leaf, and even better to see two. Great plus here to get a mama with her egg sack. Great catch!
dangerous get-together
Great shot, Andrea - mommy spider sems to think more of her baby-spiders than food.. ;o)
