'Another Green-Bottle Blowfly. There are a few of these on just about every flower bud in my back yard now. They are all landing on these particular buds to die. Its very strange because there are so many. Maybe this is just something they do this time of the year?'

Is that something that was feeding on the the fly before the spider got there?

'.....This is a crop of a Female Picture Wing Fly. If you look at the abdomen you can see the cone shaped ovipositor she uses to lay her eggs in Thistles. Ive been trying for the last week or so to get a good picture of one of these. I cant seem to capture their original eye color. Ive been trying different lenses and white balances to no avail. Also the detail appears to be odd looking. Im going to try the Nikon D70 tomorrow and see what happens...'

From Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award 2023- The People's Choice Award
One of the nominees
'....Near Montpellier, France, a cuckoo wasp is captured mid-air trying to enter a mason bee’s clay burrow as a smaller cuckoo wasp cleans its wings below.
Frank set up near the mason bee’s burrow hoping to photograph the rare cuckoo wasp that parasitises these bees. He was in luck, when not one but two cuckoo wasps appeared. While Frank was taking some shots, the larger cuckoo wasp flew off, returning seconds later with a drop of water at its mouth. The wasp uses water and saliva to soften the clay so it can dig into the bee’s sealed-up burrow. Once inside it lays its own egg, then closes the burrow up again. When the cuckoo wasp’s egg hatches, it feeds on mason bee larvae inside the burrow.'
