User's notes
The images show unidentified flies gathering on prey (a honey bee) being wrapped up in silk by a Garden Orb Weaver spider (recorded in sighting 4198264). The flies were also on the spider's body including near the spinnerets. The final image shows a fly at the bottom of the wrapped prey, blowing a bubble to evaporate and concentrate stomach liquid.
