The spider failed to snag a butterfly, so it went for Plan Bee.

That would be the honey bee, Apis mellifera.

The bee is usually foraging for nectar and pollen and not that aware of her surroundings, especially a cunning and very hungry spider.

So this orbweaver lies in wait for prey to appear on its "dinner plate." A venomous bite and the bee is paralyzed. And dinner is served à la carte.

It's not what Ernest Hemingway would call a pretty sight. But then again, everything eats in the garden. 

Repeat: Everything eats in the garden whether we want it to or not.
