Not a problem.

Thanks. If you want to post a second image so people can see the spider and the prey, just click on 'add image' under this photo and post a second, different crop. Thanks again

Lynx, Peucetia

Please crop your images to a rectangle that is essentially 'just the bug'. While you, as the contributor, can click on your image and see the full size 2000 pixel image you posted, the rest of us are restricted to this 560 pixel reduction where we can barely tell there is even a spider in the image. Thanks. You can crop your image and then return here, click on edit, and replace this distant shot with the closeup.

Thanks for the tip! I'm new to this site, so didn't realize other people couldn't see the full size image I posted.
