Dinner
< PreviousNext > 
Only a minute prior to this photograph, I took a photograph of the unlucky moth that decided a portrait by me was far less desirable than suicide. However, it gave me chance to see one of the inhabitants of our rather run-down conservatory making its dinner. I was absolutely impressed with the skill and dexterity of this 1.5cm Orb-Web Spider. Within a second of the moth hitting the web it had sunk its fangs in, paralysing it. A minute waiting, then it impressively rolled the body along the web wrapping it up into a neat little coffin. It then used its back legs to carry this to the centre of the web. It really gave me a respect for these little spiders. This photo is almost as taken - just a tiny crop and tiny curves adjustment.
