Generalist Predator

Meal of the day, a spider caught a beetle and not letting it go. Not sure what spider it is, it can't be Lynx spider as its legs were too bold and big.

Blister Beetles secrete highly irritant cantharadin which causes painful blisters. Interesting to know that yesteryear's' aphrodisiac Spanish fly was prepared from these beetles.
