Three shots showing the stages as an orb weaver captures and eats a bee.

  • Support Orb weaver with captured bee in web. Self Nom. --Fir0002 10:59, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Orb Weaver capturing or Orb Weaver eating (EDIT: these are the same images!). Oppose Orb weaver with captured bee in web (too small spider compared with rest, odd perspective). Junes 16:19, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Sorry! changed it. --Fir0002 23:35, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support capturing image. Looks like it's the most in focus. --brian0918™ 00:05, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support either capturing or eating, but eating has better detail on the spider (check out the spinnerets, if I'm not mistaken) Matthewcieplak 04:59, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support the eating one. Do you have more hi-res version, so one can see the spider in even better detail --Bricktop 10:13, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support capturing only. Depth of field is too narrow in the other two. (And it's a pity, since the eating image is the best composition, I think.) Which article do you plan to put these in, by the way? —Korath (Talk) 11:00, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • These are amazing photos. Support eating, then capturing. Eating is now my desktop. Ground 01:32, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support either one -- Chris 73 Talk 12:10, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Capturing only. It's the best of the three, technically excellent and very descriptive. I wish I could see a photo taken earlier before the bee was wrapped, so as to have some chance of identifying the bee. Pollinator 21:48, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
Yes that would have been good, but unfortunately I hadn't noticed the spider until the after the spider was already spinning the bee into a cocoon. --Fir0002 00:36, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Jonas Olson 20:23, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Excellent color contrast. — oo64eva (AJ) (U | T | C) @ 06:30, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
