On a journey to the Kuranda National Park north of Cairns, he took care of to do simply that, finding and photographing an uncommon scene of 3 arachnids in what’s been called a “spectacular” and one-of-a-kind shot.

“My dad and I had just started our walk when we came across it on the hand rail of a bridge,” he informedYahoo News Australia “Which made it much easier to spot compared to where they normally are on trees and between the leaf litter.”

What he identified was a mite saddled on the back of a scorpion which remained in the procedure of consuming a crawler.

“It was only after we took some photos that we realised the scorpion was already eating another spider which made the scene that much more special,” he stated.

“It is possible the mite was looking to grab a quick bite of the scorpions meal but it never did.”

“I was extremely fortunate to get all three of these arachnids in the same shot. I had to hold my camera upside down over the edge of a bridge to get the shot but with high risk comes high reward,” he created on social networks when sharing the photo just recently.
