Description
Little bee got court in spider web, wrapped in silk, probably saved for later and I coudnt see any signs of life at all.
Most spiders actually use there fangs to inject venom into their prey, this will paralyse the victim. They also regurgitate digestive fluids to help digest the prey - it basically tenderizes the meat. The prey will begin to liquify and the spider will start to take the prey in its jaw/pedipalps in mostly liquid form. Prey is also subdued by wrapping it up in silk.

The mono treatment works so well here. The light on the silken web makes it stand out against that dark grey backdrop. I love the sad portrayal of that poor bee waiting to be a feast!....L/F
