Don't Play with Your Food

The spider was not much bigger than its prey! It seemed quite intent on studying what it had caught and not at all bothered as I shoved my lens practically in its face.
Thank you for your wonderful comments and favs on my Milky Way shot yesterday. So inspiring I'm meeting the astronomy group again tonight to see what I can see and learn. Meeting BEGINS at 11:30pm since sun sets so late and twilight lasts so long here at the 45th parallel on the western edge of the time zone.

I couldn’t do the late hours…but maybe with coming from Oregon with the 2 hours difference i might be able to join you. I am jealous of your astronomy group! This shot is really cute

I think all spiders like toying with their prey... It’s what makes them so evil but also so useful!!
