wish it was winter here, so much drier and generally more pleasant than this washout of a summer. Nice shot, looks as though the spider is strangling the Hoverfly.

Thanks guys... I'm not sure if I like the bright flash reflection on the leaves in the background. What do you think?

Yes I know, but there's so many of them around at the moment so they won't run short. I actually found another lynx spider today with a hoverfly. I'm surprised they can actually take them down to be honest.
