Dangling spider.

[dkord]

This very small spider is trying to play dead while dangling on a web, which you can't see.
He also has a meal on the line.
The rest of the pics are here :

Thanks Bald Eagle:) I used a 30mm Extension tube on my 28-105 usm II. I still had to crop pretty tight.

Thanks Marie. Yes I could of cropped them tighter. I was suffering from lazy photographer disease: I should of taken out the external flash and used a higher fstop.

Very late to see these. The "catch" appears to be this young spider's old "skin" that it has just shed. Although it could have simply eaten one of its brethren!
