Vince, super shot even though I find insects eating insects a bit creepy...those weird mouth parts and all...I guess too many horror movies as a kid

Very neat images Vince! Looks like it prefers its meal head first. Well captured.

Very nice macro Vincent The focus is on the right spot however do you have a shot with the head lower so its prey is also in focus? Just a little nit
