Notes:

Nice to see, most of the time all I see here is Silver Argiope. The prey seems to be a Scarab I guess a Chafer of some kind. In the last pic, she wound it so tight, you can see the creases of the pronotum and wing covers. In the last couple of pics my cam was having trouble auto focusing on macro with the busy background, so I put my cap to cover it.
