Today I saw a Thomisidae-spider with some prey. On this prey there was a Chlorops sp., and I don't understand it's behaviour. Next to this there were more little flies which circled around the spider and even sit on it. Were they invited for diner?, or are they from the rescueteam? I do not think they are in love??  Maiby someone can explain some of it? p.s. It is possible that the Chlorops is sticked into some glue-lines of the spider, but I don't think that Thomisidae-spiders use this technic for hunting. They jump on the prey!? Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [59.91Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 06-05-2006 01:58 |

Nikita, Thank you very much for this reaction, it is nice to know it. The prey is probably a bee.., and that tiny fly are really small and a bit strange! I appreciate it, thinking of 'my Phaonia-fly'!, finaly it has a name  In Amsterdam the wheater is very beautiful these days.., sunny and less wind and that's perfect to see a lot of insects.. greeting, Robert Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 06-05-2006 08:43 |
