Being eaten by a spider
Baby Snake
I chanced upon this dramatic scene next to a grocery store in Durham NC (USA). The storm water pond next to this place is quite the wildlife hotspot.

Prey: Blue Dasher - Pachydiplax longipennis
I found this pretty green katydid in a suburban yard (Durham NC USA) in September 2020.
Bush Katydid - Scudderia species (male)

Species-level ID of these requires a good view of the terminal appendages of the male, which I did not get here.
(One frame shows a fairly close lateral view.)
My daughter spotted this spider in the street of our neighborhood.
On Abies balsamea.
This male orb weaver spider was found 14 August 2005 in Wake County, NC (USA). I was going through old files and reprocessed the image.
Marbled Orbweaver - Araneus marmoreus (male, 6-9 mm)

Some really annoying highlights due to water/flash cloned and smoothed out.
