D200, 180mm macro w/extension, ISO 200, f5.6, 1/125
My new location seems to have lots of crab spiders but few (if any) ambush bugs.

Someone got a good meal. Good choice of DOF. Nice details. I like how the grass blades frame the action.

Great find! Nice colours and comp. I wonder if the ant is looking for scraps... Very nice shot!

One rather large scrap to be available soon, Katja. I understand crab spiders don't dismember their prey but "suck them dry." I don't really know what ants that forage on flower tops might be interested in but suspect that what one species might not want another would.
If anyone is wondering, the rusty stain around the ant is there because it was moving and the shutter speed wasn't fast enough to completely freeze the action.
