The Death of a Marmelade Fly

A Marmelade Fly (Episyrphus balteatus) caught by a female Misumena vatia (a crab spider).

The scene of the drama is a Cicerbita macrophylla (Common Blue-sow-thistle).

Another tragic end caught by Delph Wynd Daily. Last year we blipped another crabspider's meal.

One Year Ago: Brodiaea (Cluster Lily)
