Honey Bee and Crab Spider

Nature can be brutal.  It really is a dog eat dog or in this case, spider eat bee world.  For this Crab spider, this must have been some catch.  But that is how nature is, one moment your feeding, minding your own business, then BAM, your paralyzed, woozy, then food.  It happens everyday in nature, I was lucky enough to find this shot and take it.  I used a 50mm macro lens and my flash.  I stopped the lens down to f/16 and put the flash head right on the end of my lens and fired off several shots.  When shooting macro shots with a flash, I tend to bracket the flash output rather than the aperture.
