Catching a Predator, pt. 2 - _TNY_8137
Here is one of the first shots taken with my new (ok, second-hand - but in mint condition) Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens. So far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
A red wood ant (Formica rufa) dragging along a rustic wolf spider (Trochosa ruricola) back to the ant hill.
What I think has happened is that the spider was either killed or possibly paralyzed by a spider wasp of some sort and then the ant stumbled upon it and claimed it for herself.
