Field Notes

Notes:

Spotted at the same location as previous spotting on 03 Sept 2013.
The crab spider (light green colour) was holding onto a prey (house fly), but after about a minute of my observation, it let go of the prey. There was another spider on the back of the crab spider. Not sure if it's the same species?

The smaller spider is also a crab spider (Thomisidae family). Possibly a male one?
