Yesterday morning around nine o'clock I tried to hunt again, the weather yesterday was so sunny that I could look for some insects or other things that live in the wild, I visited the garden which was full of bushes with several trees because I was sure there were many beautiful things living there

Not long after walking in the garden, a flower fly flew and stood on one of the leaves, several times I made it uncomfortable and moved, after patiently waiting and slowly approaching it, I managed to take several close up shots of the flower fly

What differentiates these flies from ordinary flies is that their shape is bigger, their eyes are also different, the body color of these flower flies is almost like the color of bees, and these flies do not live in dirty places, they prefer flowers, this fly is one type of fly Helophilus

on the same tree with different leaves I saw a spider enjoying its prey, this time the prey was a caterpillar which was bigger than its body, this spider's bite was so strong even though it was on one leaf and the caterpillar was hanging

after approaching the profit he started to feel uncomfortable and walked slowly in another direction and put the caterpillar in a good position

I accidentally kicked the tree trunk so they both fell and I lost them, I continued looking at several other trees, it turned out there was a spider there too which was the same type as the previous one

Even though their size is small, they are skilled hunters. What is interesting about this spider is its small eyes, its legs which when standing are always raised and look forked. This spider is a species of spider Oxyopes salticus
