A yellow and red-striped goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia, Araignée crabe) with its meal. She was hiding, well camouflaged, beneath the petals of a black eyed Susan. It was obviously a very clean strike, between the head and the thorax, and probably happened so fast the fly would not have a seen it coming.
