Misumena vatia & Stictoleptura rubra
Crab spider hunting longhorn beetles. The spider caught one and the others seemed to be around in distress as if they were trying to help their mate.

Hahahahaaaa, Neil, that's right!
Great spotting, Marta. Obviously fear doesn't work the same way with beetles as it does with humans. If my little mate was getting chomped by a massive spider, you wouldn't find me within light years of this location.
