Last of the Day - _TNY_1811 (In Explore 23/9 2021)

After a (great) day of shooting at Åva-Stensjödal I was ready to pack up and head home - but decided to just have another look near the ruin of the old mill and managed to find this female green crab spider (Diaea dorsata) - with a catch!

 

Not sure exactly what she's got there but it looks like some sort of caddisfly to me.

 

Regardless, she was not at all in the mood to show it to me and kept moving to the far side regardless of from which angle I approached.

 

In the end, I held the camera with one hand and waved the other one behind the spider causing her to move back to my side and got a couple of shots.
