Cobweb spider with prey

Cobweb spider with prey
Latin name: Enoplognatha ovata

Not that many people have looked at this picture on Flickr. I like it a lot though. Not surprisingly, in retrospect, pictures that seem to be popular are ones that show up well as thumbnails. I enjoy this shot because it shows a Cobweb spider about to bite into newly captured prey. It's hard to get a picture of an insect doing its thing. Mostly one is happy to capture one after having chased it all over the foliage or over countless rocks.
