Fly vs Nigma walckenaeri

When i walked in the garden this morning i could hear the fly trying to escape from the web, it took me a while to find it in the ivy hedge.

When i came close i spotted something what looked like a green crabspider ,or even a cucumber green spider but it turned out to be a Nigma Walckenaeri .

First encounter for me and also for the fly it seems :)
The Nigma Walckenaeri i've spotted is according to wikipedia 5mm long and a female.

you can see the green small spider slightly out of focus in the bokeh

my guess is it bites the fly with venom

looks like a big catch for such a small spider

looks like the wings were damaged on escape atempts

hard to tell if it's dead already or just paralized by the venom

Spider hiding for thing with big lights [ that would be me ]

she is really hard to spot if you don't know where to look

looks like it died after all

dinner served for the Nigma spider

Although she still is in her hiding place

still not moving

and there comes the appetite

big meal for a small spider
