The Grab!

The Long-horned Bee was close enough that the Flower Crab Spider grabbed the Bee with its strong front legs! The Bee attempted to sting the spider and had enough forward momentum that he was able to escape the clutches of the spider. The Bee then made several flybys and buzzed the spider. This made me laugh as the Bee was very angry that the spider would to try to eat him. The Bee then went back to foraging for pollen and the spider crawled under the petals.
