The day after I took this shot, the prey had completely disappeared.
I remember telling somebody on 365 that I am not afraid of spiders. This one didn't scare me but yesterday when I opened the cupboard to get the flour out to make the gravy a huge one with long legs appeared, moving very quickly - I think I called for help!
