The Spider and a Fly


This crafty spider was lurking in the shadows of my greenhouse waiting for another fly to vibrate its well spread web strands 

A few days ago I popped into my greenhouse to collect a few tomatoes for my lunch but as I went through the door I collected a face full of a large spider and its web which was spanning the doorway.

This might be a prime position looking at things from the Spiders perspective but I was not so impressed and as I returned looking to collect more tomatoes today I was more careful to duck underneath the rebuilt web when I noticed that the spider was doing well having just trapped another fly to add to a collection that were already hanging in its larder area.

I grabbed my wife's macro camera and lens ad exposed this series of shots as the spider ran from its cover and spun the fly in silk before transported it to its gruesome hanging larder where it was left trapped like a trophy on display along with two other recent victims.
