Here is a female goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia), currently in yellow mode, which have managed to kill a western honey bee (Apis mellifera) on a dandelion (Taraxacum ruderalia) near my local train station.

This is actually the very same spider as in these wide-angle macro shots outside my house. I found it here on the dandelion and put it in a little container and brought it home and released her on the ox-eye daisies: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52177534935/ and www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52324526856/
Honey bee looking for some food.

This is the impressively large inflorescence of the purple angelica (Angelica gigas) with a bunch of western honey bees (Apis mellifera) on it.
The fav part though is the commpon wasp (Vespula vulgaris) which was coming in for a landing. Doesn't really look that elegant with the landing gear out like that, does it?
