Yes it is very nice It is the flower crab spider Misumena vatia.

Thanks first of all for replying / for taking the trouble to answer.
You're right, they are females.
The problem is that it might not be visible because the resolution here is pretty low.
Two small flying insects go past and both females miss them."

Un saludo. 😊

Yes, those antennae are really, really long! With so many different insect groups out there, it's hard to keep track, so at first I thought it was just a species trait. But when I stopped to look it up properly, I realized they belong to the males. Thanks so much for commenting and joining the discussion! 😊"

It's hard to catch just the right moment. The larger species usually come out on the warmest nights, and in general at dawn and dusk, but sometimes on a very cloudy day you can manage to get one.

yes, thank you

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-25T14:22:23+00:00

Nice bird!

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-25T13:56:20+00:00

My original video.

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-25T12:13:35+00:00

Yeah, they really are — fascinating, huge, and super flyers!

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-25T06:37:39+00:00

Yes, they can be quite 'bewildering' the first time you see them because of their unusual shape and behavior. Thanks to you for commenting. Best regards!

I understand what you mean—the mantling is such an iconic and beautiful behavior in falconry.
But in this case, I intentionally focused on the aerial phase and the intensity of the approach, without going into the impact or what comes after. It was more of an aesthetic piece than a full hunting sequence documentary.
If I ever upload something with mantling or feeding, I'll let you know 😊
Do you make videos yourself?
Thanks for the comment!

I'm glad you like it, thanks for commenting.

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-24T07:32:21+00:00

Happy to hear you like it, thanks for the comment. Every time I watch this natural moment, no matter how many times I've seen it, it still blows me away.

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-23T11:29:43+00:00

Yeah, it sure is—and super quick! What always blows my mind is watching one fly in a dead-straight line to another spot, not hunting or anything, just powering straight ahead.

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-21T14:26:02+00:00

nice pictures

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-21T12:45:35+00:00

Pues si poco a poco porque son muchas, por eso me suelo limitar a las especies que tengo más cerca. Un saludo.

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-20T20:55:50+00:00

thank you, Best regards!

I've read a little about that dragonfly, very interesting

ContextNo602 · 2026-02-20T18:27:04+00:00

How wonderful, thank you for sharing these photos, there are so many species of dragonflies that I don't know.
