The Trap is Set II by

Crab spider versus the bee.

The spider is an ambush predator that waits the springs into action. It does not use a web to catch its meals.

    Well…. Did the spider win???

    Well…

    no.

    (Good thing for the bee)

    I stood there and watched, time after time, try after try and after about an hour my legs got tired and the spider went hungry.

    No, he didn’t give up, they’ll try and try again. I was there for awhile and he didn’t catch anything.
