First of these rather small miner bees I had spotted and it flies into a spider's web.
The spider displayed the same behaviour I had seen before with potentially dangerous prey ie immobilising it in web before approaching it for a fatal bite.

Not sad for the spider; it will probably be able to live for weeks on that one catch...
