Spider in Arethusa



Above are 2 of a collection of images I made in the Maple Lake Bog in Pictou County NS.
It is of a crab spider catching a fly while hiding in an Arethusa(Dragon's Mouth Orchid).
I went to the bog to do some macro shooting of some bog orchids, and totally lucked out (as is usually how I make most of my images). I laid out in the bog for about a half hour braving black fly's, and I mean braving! They were absolutley brutal that day. Add in 31C temperatures, and a backpack full of camera gear, and you have one very happy photographer to come across this scene.
cheers,
Gary.
