Argiope catenulata with its prey

[Tiomanese]

This was taken quite some years back. It was taken with handheld when I was moving in a pond at the Marina East. The pond is no longer there, so is the spider...

C & C are welcome!

Very nice image of a not so common St. Andrew Cross spider with a DF in distress.
Different from the other 2 more common one which is the Oval & Multi-Coloured St. Andrew Cross spider.

The spider seems to keep her catch for lunch or dinner.
Well she's not there now, probably in the marina bay sands casino .

Cheers..

Great moments captured but sad story for both the damsel and spider.

Great predatory shots! Both the hunter and prey are sharp
You should shoot macro more often now. Not very good to post images that were so long ago

Nice moment taken.

I like the sharpness of the spider and the contorted shape of the prey. The bg is also very good. Good technique to get this image without a tripod.

always nice to see a prey caught in the web, it speaks volumes about the life of a spider

Guys,

Nice from the past.
One predator becomes a prey.
