ok, a spider is killing a bee..... and?



Yeah, like I said... something, undoubtedly, perfectly normal, but do look at the details.
There is NO viscera, no goo at all... just a hole that looks very much like torn metal.

and what do you think should be apparent? spurting blood? a spinal column? the spider has poked a leg through the bee's eye, and another is inserted at the margin where the carpace is sgmented...you adjusted the contrast to get the "metallic look"...if you look at the leg penetrating the back of the head, you will see that the leg has seperated a wedge of the carpace.... it's a bee, being killed by a spider....


Although I think this is perhaps a bee-mimic fly (by the eye shape and the fact they touch in the middle) I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I enlarged the image and it looks like there is a space between the head and thorax, and the pedipalp (those two little 'legs' on the spider) happens to be gripping that space, with the other one resting on the eye. Or the mandibles pierced the area behind the eye, and at the time the image was taken, you can see the fangs imbedded at the front of the eyes (ew!)

If anything, that spider looks more 'robotic' than the victim.
