The Flower Mantis: Misumena Catches Foraging Bee sent on June 18, 2025 (18:57) by Federico Kiswarday. 12 comments, 166 views. [retina]

, 1/100 f/5.6, ISO 160, hand held.

Focus stacking da 2 scatti. Tubi di prolunga da 10mm e 16mm. Misumena vatia cattura un'ape bottinatrice sul fiore: spiritromba estroflessa. Il Misumena vatia non costruisce ragnatele per cacciare: agisce da predatore ad agguato, aspettando sul fiore e attaccando con rapidità. È capace di cambiare colore (bianco a giallo e viceversa, talvolta verde) per mimetizzarsi sul fiore ospite: il passaggio da bianco a giallo può richiedere fino a 25 giorni, quello inverso circa 6 giorni; i pigmenti coinvolti sono kynurenine e 3-hydroxykynurenine, secreti o riassorbiti nell'epidermide.

Hi Maryas, thank you very much!
I agree on the pleasant camera point, even if you can barely see a black eye of the Misumena, covered by purple petals... I would have liked to have been able to make it more visible, but the position did not allow it entirely.
However, I tried to capture the Misumena from the best possible visual angle, considering that it was well hidden, upside down, inside the flower, behind the bee. Thank you again for your appreciation :-D
