wow
These are great shots! I've tried twice to get a decent pic of these without too much success. I'm amazed by the corpses stuck on there. What I've found similar just had white fluff on there. You really nailed this.

Thank you
Coming from a great photographer like you, a wow is an honor.

Great find!
Are those the carcasses of all its victims on it?

I don't know
I watched this guy devour a red aphid. All that was left was the white exoskeleton which he attached to his back. I think I recognize a cricket or grasshopper molt and I suspect that that molt was scavenged.

That's pretty cool!
Did you get any shots of the devouring?

Yes
The third shot shows him with the aphid in his pinchers. I have looked at most of the pics in Bridge but I only processed a few of them. I have many more; I wish I was video recording the event.
