- Info Fatal embrace. A crab spider (Thomisus onustus) capturing a fly (Chrysomya albiceps). The prey was stabbed behind the head, where the nerves are concentrated, and quickly paralysed by the venom (see "other versions"). Soon digestive juices will be pumped into the fly's body to liquify the tissues, as spiders only ingest liquid food. All by Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

- Comment This is a great and rare shot, but I wonder why you nominated this picture and not your second shot of the same scene. I would prefer it because you can look into the spiders eye and see larger parts of its body. -- Dr. Schorsch (talk) 13:44, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Info - Two reasons: the other picture is a bit below the size requirements and this one has a more original composition. But go ahead, you may do it yourself if you think it is worth :) -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:36, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

- Support I still think the others picture encyclopedic value is higher and the size limit is for me not the ultimate reason in cases where it is technically given. But finally I give my support to your nomination. -- Dr. Schorsch (talk) 17:21, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'd suggest nominating the other version on en.wp. --Dschwen (talk) 00:48, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- It crossed my mind but I see no need for the picture in the available articles and am against spamming the space with FPC nominations. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:22, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
