This rufous motmot took advantage of a spider web. It was bad news for both the moth and the spider as the motmot made away with the spider’s dinner. I photographed this one in the cloud forest of Ecuador at a place called Mashpi. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/320th of a second

Absolutely stunning shot. Beautiful lighting & great critter, masterfully captured by you on camera.
A beautiful picture of yet another beautiful albeit naughty bird. Great image Sean
Rescue not theft,I’d —-Hug you but I have no arms —-Go now and be free.
Hahahahahaha. Well said Peter!
Another great shot and great example from Mother Nature. Nobody said “Life was fair.” Humans made that one up.
Gorgeous shot!!!
