The crab spiders can be good subjects for ambiant light macro, on a bright, windless day, as they don't move very much. This was 1/15 sec, camera on a tripod, Tamron 90mm f2.5 macro lens plus matched 2x converter, E6 film 100 ISO. The fly was too big for the spider to retreat with it to amongst the plant foliage:
