Let Me Eat in Peace, Pt. 2 - _TNY_7737
So my wife had recently found a new possible place to hang out at on the Gålö peninsula called Oxnö klippbad so we grabbed ourselves a cup of coffee each and took the car there.
It turned out to look really nice and will make for a really nice place to visit and swim once summer gets along properly here.
I unsurprisingly couldn't leave the camera at home and stumbled on this male Xysticus bifasciatus crab spider (the Swedish name translates into king crab spider) on top of a very small rowan (Sorbus acuparia). As a bonus, it had caught some sort of tiny insect and was in the process of eating it.
Me sticking a large lens in its face wasn't completely appreciated and he began holding his front pair of legs out to the sides in an adorable threat display to make me keep my distance.
Any suggestions on what he is eating is happily received.
