Pollinator versus spider
Default Pollinator versus spider

Hello

I do not know exactly which topic to post these pictures, I ask the administrators to modify the location if necessary.

See below pictures of a small sharp observed in my greenhouse this morning.
A small spider Misumena sp. " attacking the natural pollinator Basiliorchis marginata.
This aracnidio uses its camouflage to become invisible to their prey succeeding in your hunt.
Note that the back of the pollinator, a small bee genus Trigona sp., Still carries the orchid pollinia.
Sad ending, but a necessary evil.

To see the sequence of pictures, click on the image below, and enjoy a visit to register on our forum also
