Too Big a Lunch, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5412

A second - and sharper - shot of a small goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia), currently in the white form, deciding not to have a go at the common brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni) which chose to land on the thistle where the spider had set her ambush up.

 

When the spider has reached its full size - perhaps things would end differently.
