Harvesting

Patty texted from the back garden, "There are two Harvestmen eating a Bumble Bee." So I went to look.

And took my camera (shocker!).


That bee has some long legs ...


That bee's got problems ... methinks it is dead. 


You can see the two of them going at it now.


That must be where the tasty bits are ...


I'm not sure why, but I always thought Harvestmen were just scavengers. They are, but it seems that some are ambush hunters as well. 


I don't know how this bee met its demise, but the Harvestmen where busy as at least the clean up crew, if not the ultimate cause.


Just another day in the jungle we call our yard.
