This extremely hungry spider is a female goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) eating some sort of bumblebee (Bombus sp.) on an ox-eye daisy (Lecanthemum vulgare).

I originally found her on some cow parsley where she was eating a tachinid fly and put her in a small plastic container until I got home where I let her out on one of the ox-eye daisies in front of my neighbour's house.

Not fifteen minutes later when I checked in on her, she had already caught and was eating another fly.

The next day when I came out again, she had caught this bumblebee and the day after that a solitary bee!

Apparently not full yet, the day after that I saw her with yet another fly - we're going to be out of flying bugs soon if she keeps this up!

I named her Sussi and was looking forward to seeing her grow, but the day after that, she was gone.

Umm

This cuckoo bumblebee has me a bit confused about the English common name. The scientific name for the species is Bombus quadricolor where "quadricolor" obviously references the four colours of it (black, yellow, orange and white).

This has led me to believe the English name is four-colored cuckoo bee , but I keep finding mention online about "four-coloured cuckoo bee being an alternative name for the forest cuckoo bumblebee (Bombus sylvestris). "Sylvestris" references forest so that name makes sense and I can't for the life of me figure out why it would need to have another name as well - especially one that collides with another species.

Hopefully, it is a case of one mistake on the internet and others inadvertently copying it.
