Spider and prey
Found this by my garden pond yesterday. The newly emerged Large Red Damselfly has been caught by a spider. Sorry about the poor quality photo but is it good enough to get an ID on the spider?



Cheers

Polly

Re: Spider and prey
Hi Polly,
There's not enough info to get to species level on this one, but its a Thomisidae, a crab spider. At a rough guess one of the Xysticus sp.
