Hi all,
I think this is a crab spider? sat in a stinging nettle(you can see the sharp hairs on the leaves) munching an aphid.The other shot is a green bottle eye close up...

Crab spiders are stealthy little creatures, some can even change color to match there surroundings, making them even less obvious to unsuspecting prey, though I notice this one in particular can't and there are many like that too. The spider would have to be my choice here but the eyes of the fly are also quite good.:D
