Grabbed from behind?

Self explanatory really, I didn't realise what was going on until I looked through the view finder. Unfortunately I couldn't get around the back to get a shot of what had grabbed it, some sort of spider I presume.

I think this guy must have been working out, look at those bulging legs ;)

Great pics, Mick! I think in your excitement you missed the focus a bit in the first one, which is really unfortunate since it shows such great drama. The second one cracked me up :D He reminds me of some of the guys you see at the gym who train only part of the body. Hilarious and a great pic to boot!

Your probably right Bea, it was a little breezy though; that's why I'm holding the stem on the second shot (that's the mucky pinky looking bit on the bottom left LOL!).
Excuses excuses! ;)

Nice shots Mick, that first one looks like a crab spider from the pose and method of attack. The 2nd shot is a very nice bug, man he has been working out!
