The very hungry spider

[NotAllThere]

The other day, I heard a buzzing noise, and thought a flying insect must have been caught behind a blind or something. Then I spotted the insect on the floor, spinning round rapidly. A closer look showed that it was being held by a spider about 1/10th of its size.

It soon stopped struggling, and a few minutes later the spider hauled it off to it's den.

I've seen an ant hauling a dead wasp about 10 times bigger than it off to its nest

So spiders also like a "carry-out" then?

Watch out! Spider bites can be quite painful!

When I was in the south of France last month, I saw what I thought was a large spider hauling a struggling wasp to its nest. Turned out the spider was dead and it was the wasp that was the (winning) predator.

It's a violent world.

I got some nice photos of a spider entombing a moth the other week, although I do think the neighbours wondered what I was doing on the balcony using a flash in the middle of the day.

I have a beetle I have trapped and starved to death I need to get busy on as well.

You are a deep one doodab. No doubt about it.

back in my scruffy arsed student days I used to have a pet spider. I notied a web in my room and when I saw a fly on the window I'd catch it and give boris a meal.
