Lunch

I took this photo the day after the one I posted yesterday. The male spider was nowhere to be seen and I suspect he is inside the parcel this little lady has created. I guess he just couldn't run quick enough and he is now going to end up as lunch.

Great capture. That is one huge spider

[Annie D]

he's hiding so he doesn't get eaten...or it's too late hahahaha - love orb weavers :)

[Kathy A]

Oh well, the circle of life!

[Babs]

@annied I think it is too late. Maybe she didn't like it when he said she needed a leg wax ha ha.

[Ingrid]

What a great sharp picture!

[Lizzy]

I don’t like spiders at all but great picture!

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh Babs, lunch all wrapped up & ready to eat. A superb capture..

[Hazel]

A man in a parcel - now that IS interesting!

[Susan Wakely]

Oh dear she must be really annoyed with him. That’s the trouble with having 8 legs, it makes a real mess when you leave your socks on the bedroom floor and she is rather house proud.

[Wylie]

Oh dear, tough gig being a male spider.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Aaw , how sad is nature ! -- but in this case a beautifully wrapped lunch !

[Dione Giorgio]

Poor spider. But that is how nature works. Wonderful close-up shot though.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Yikes, poor guy....Super close up!

[Kate]

Some would call her a black widow!

[Merrelyn]

It doesn't pay to get too close to that lady!

[LManning (Laura)]

Fantastic detail.

[Margaret Brown]

Super capture and details

[carol white]

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Lee]

Poor fella! She looks like a big one.

[Corinne C]

Oh no! She is a super spider

[Pat Knowles]

Oh wow she is brutal….mate & then eat him!! Fascinating! Fave.

[KV]

Hmmmm… glad I’m not a spider LOL! Creepier and creepier.

[Rob Z]

LOL - inside the parcel. Makes it all so up close and personal....

[George]

Terrific capture.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They say it's not easy being green...well apparently it's not easy being black and brown either if you're a male spider!

[KWind]

He looks big! Great shot.

With 300 offspring to give birth to she probably needs a sturdy lunch.

[Shutterbug]

She doesn’t look like the best web builder, but it must have done its job. How big is this spider? Beautiful shot of it.

[Rick]

Great capture.

[Babs]

@shutterbug49 Her body is about 1.5 cm but if you measure her legs as well she is about 5 or 6 cm in length.

The laws of nature are ruthless
